AusNet Services – 2026–27 – ACS pricing model – 14 August 2026

On 7 May 2026, AusNet Services submitted a pricing proposal for its Victorian electricity distribution network for the period 1 July 2026 to 30 June 2027. 

We will assess AusNet Services' pricing proposal for compliance with the NER and our 2026–31 regulatory determination. AusNet Services provided other documentation to support its proposal that will be used in our compliance assessment.

On 12 and 15 May 2026, AusNet Services resubmitted part of its pricing proposal in response to AER queries. Proposed prices were unchanged, though a correction was made to the Export Reward price for the Residential CER tariff to correctly reflect this as a negative amount.

On 14 August 2026 we published an updated ACS pricing model to correct the tariff codes for 4 public lighting services:

• LED 18W - Partially-funded (‘Public Lighting’!D21)
• LED 14W - Partially-funded (‘Public Lighting’!D22)
• LED 18W - ASD-funded (‘Public Lighting’!D31)
• LED 14W - ASD-funded (‘Public Lighting’!D32)
