The AER opened public consultation on the ring-fencing waiver application from CitiPower, Powercor, and United Energy (collectively referred to as CPU) for a waiver from clauses 3.1(b) and 4.2 of the Ring‑fencing guideline (electricity distribution). CPU seeks a waiver to run a trial to own, install and maintain 100 kerbside electric vehicle chargers in its distribution areas. We have released an accompanying consultation paper as part of this consultation.
The AER held three stakeholder workshops on CPU’s waiver application in the week commencing 5 May 2025. After the workshops, the AER published additional information that CPU provided on its proposed operating model which it presented at the workshops. The AER has today published deidentified workshop transcripts to support stakeholder submissions. Submissions close 13 June 2025.
