The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) has released its final decision and distribution determination for ETSA Utilities, the electricity distributor in South Australia. The decision and determination covers the regulatory control period 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2015 and sets the revenue that ETSA Utilities is able to recover for the provision of electricity distribution services.
ETSA Utilities is required to submit a pricing proposal to the AER by 27 May 2010, indicating how the required revenue allowances contained in the final decision will be recovered from customers in accordance with the National Electricity Rules (NER). The AER will assess the pricing proposal in accordance with Part I of Chapter 6 of the NER. Provided the pricing proposal submitted by ETSA Utilities is compliant with the NER, the AER is scheduled to make its determination on network tariffs in the first half of June 2010.
The final decision, distribution determination and reports prepared by the AER's consultants are now available on the AER's website.
