AER - Summary of key outcomes from stakeholder forum - August 2017

On 16 August 2017, the AER met with key stakeholders to discuss the process for remaking the operating expenditure (opex) decisions for the NSW and ACT electricity distribution businesses.

The purpose of this meeting was to discuss options for how the AER can work cooperatively with stakeholders in remaking the opex decisions. In particular, we sought views on:

• the key issues for the opex remittal process, including key objectives and areas of concern
• the best means by which the AER can facilitate a robust, transparent and consultative process for considering these issues in remaking the decisions.

A summary of key outcomes from the meeting is available below.
