On 2 June 2014 the AER received a regulatory proposal from ActewAGL.
The AER did not publish ActewAGL’s proposal, as it was not compliant with the NER. The AER issued ActewAGL with a notice under clause 6.9.1(a) of the NER, to resubmit its regulatory proposal. On 10 July 2014, ActewAGL resubmitted its regulatory proposal which addressed the deficiencies identified by the AER.
Under clause 6.7.4 of the NER, the AER's distribution determination for ActewAGL must set out the Negotiated Distribution Service Criteria (NDSC). The NDSC determined by the AER must give effect to, and be consistent with, the negotiated distribution service principles set out in clause 6.7.1 of the NER.
On 23 September 2014 the AER published its proposed Negotiated Distribution Service Criteria (NDSC). Submissions closed on 23 October 2014.
