We invited energy consumers and other interested parties to make submissions on Transgrid’s SSNS payment contract review application by close of business 10 November 2025.
Noting, that this was the first SSNS payment application the AER has received, we considered it important that stakeholders have an opportunity to provide feedback on the prudency and efficiency of the proposed payments and payment methodologies.
We sought stakeholder views in particular on:
- the process Transgrid has followed to achieve the lowest possible cost outcome in the circumstances,
- the proposed contract payment structure.
Due to confidentiality requirements, some elements of the application were redacted to protect confidential and commercial-in-confidence information related to specific terms of the draft contract, and ongoing contract negotiations.
