AER Rate of return guidelines - Consultation paper - 10 May 2013

Rate of return guidelines

On 10 May 2013, the AER released the consultation paper on Rate of return guidelines for consultation as a part of the Better Regulation reform program 2013.

The Rate of return guidelines will set out how we intend to apply the new rules framework to set rates of return for network business that meet the long term interest of consumers. This will involve setting out high level regulatory criteria that will guide our assessment of methodologies, financial models, market data and other evidence to determine returns on equity and debt that make up the overall rate of return.
