AER guidance - issues of interpretation - Annual Information Orders 2024-28

During the development of the Orders (the Networks Information Requirements Review), AER grouped our data requirements into 'data categories' based on data type (for example, capital expenditure, service performance, network metrics).  The Orders refer to the "data category workbooks." 

After issuing the Orders, and responding to concerns raised by NSPs, we developed the 2024-25 data reporting workbooks. For ease of reporting these workbooks were structured to mirror (as close as possible) the previous RIN reporting workbooks. 

To assist NSPs understand their obligations under the Orders, we provided annotated versions of the 'Appendix A Data Workbook Instructions' with the new data reporting workbook table numbers marked in blue text.

Also provided is an AER guidance - issues of interpretation document.
