AER - Essential Energy 2019–24 - Post-tax revenue model - 2023–24 RoD update (inc cost pass throughs) - March 2023

In line with our final decision on Essential Energy's electricity distribution network, we have updated Essential Energy's return on debt for 2023–24. As a result of this update, the return on debt for 2023–24 is 4.61 per cent. This results in an X-factor for 2023–24 of 3.08 per cent. Holding other things constant, a positive X-factor implies a real revenue decrease and a negative X-factor implies a real revenue increase. The revised PTRM shows the updated X-factor.
