Consultant reports
Back to topWe have instructed ACIL Allen Consulting to support us in the design of a forecasting approach for wholesale and environmental costs. The report Default Market Offer: Estimating wholesale and environmental costs for 2020–21 by ACIL Allen Consulting is published alongside the draft determination on 10 February 2020.
Due to stakeholder requests we have published ACIL Allen’s modelling data for the cost of energy. The information contained in the modelling data is already set out in the ACIL Allen report for our draft determination. We published this data on 12 March 2020.
Models
Back to topOn 2 March 2020 the AER released its model for calculating DMO prices for 2020–21.
As set out in the DMO 2020–21 draft determination the AER’s approach is to adjust our 2019–20 DMO price based on forecast changes to wholesale electricity, network and environment regulation costs faced by retailers. Retail costs are indexed by CPI.
The model calculates the expected changes in these costs for 2020–21 for each area and customer type.
The information contained in the model is already set out in the DMO 2020–21 draft determination, however, we are publishing the model to provide stakeholders with additional transparency on how we propose to calculate the DMO prices for 2020–21.
We invited interested stakeholders to comment on the model up to 17 March 2020. We did not receive any submissions.
