On 5 April 2024, the AER made Annual Information Orders (Orders) for 2024-25 to 2027-28. The Orders impose annual reporting obligations on regulated electricity networks and are made using our information gathering powers under the National Electricity Law.
2026-28 Update to Annual Information Instruments
On 25 March 2026 the AER released draft Annual Information Orders for 2026-27 and 2027-28 and an accompanying Explanatory Statement for public consultation. The AER intends to replace the 2024-28 Orders currently in place to improve our information gathering processes applying to electricity network businesses.
We have sought to make improvements that aim to reduce the volume and complexity of issues arising in future information reporting processes. The updated 2026-28 Orders will incrementally improve in the AER’s information requirements and help reduce regulatory burden by increasing the clarity of reporting obligations.
