The Non-disclosure Guideline sets out how network operators and NSW Roadmap entities are to make claims for non-disclosure over information provided to the AER in connection with the AER’s functions under the Electricity Infrastructure Investment Act 2020 (NSW) (EII Act).
As an independent regulator we are committed to making well-informed and accountable decisions that are in the long-term interests of energy consumers. We consider transparency and meaningful consultation with affected stakeholders essential to achieve good regulatory decisions. Consistent with this approach, the Non-disclosure Guideline reinforces that disclosure is the default position and that non-disclosure claims should only be made where necessary and supported by clear, specific and well-justified reasons.
The consultation process behind the Non-disclosure Guideline can be found at the Review of the Non-disclosure Guideline – Electricity Infrastructure Investment Act 2020 (NSW) page.
