Powerlink - Submission to AER - Issues Paper on Ring-fencing Negotiated Transmission Services - Nov 2024_Redacted

We invited interested stakeholders to provide submissions on our issues paper by 13 November 2024. 

Submissions have now closed.

The issues paper was the first stage of consultation on possible changes to the guideline and the treatment of negotiated transmission services. After considering initial stakeholder submissions and comments, we will release a more detailed proposal for further stakeholder feedback.

The AER published an issues paper on 23 October 2024 which set out a range of matters for stakeholder consideration, including: 

• whether all, some, or no negotiated services should be ring-fenced, and the manner in which ring-fencing should occur 
• whether to expand the definition of ‘ring-fenced information’ 
• whether to require additional reporting on the delivery of services 
• expanding current obligations, in regard to marketing staff separation, to provision of negotiated services, and 
• whether to introduce restrictions on cross-branding and promotions.
