On 27 April 2018, we published our Draft Position Paper. The paper responds to issues raised in submissions on our November 2017 Discussion Paper, provides our views on a number of profitability measures and indicates those measures we intend to report.

We invited interested parties to make submissions on our Draft Position Paper. Submissions closed on 30 May 2018.

We held a public forum on the draft position paper in Sydney on 16 May 2018. The forum provided an opportunity for stakeholders to share their views on the draft position paper.

On 10 September 2018 we published Return on Assets ratios for the electricity network businesses we regulate. The publication of this information responds to calls from stakeholders for greater transparency around the actual returns achieved by the businesses.

Since publication of this initial information, we have begun to report Return on Assets ratios as part of our annual performance reporting. In some cases, the next round of reporting has updated the data and ratios previously reported. The most recent round of network Return on Assets ratios were published as part of the distribution network performance data 2006-2018 and the transmission network performance data 2006-2018.
