The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) conducts a compliance check annually to ensure that distributors comply with the distribution determination price controls and that the total revenue recovered from consumers is no more than required for a safe and reliable electricity supply. As a process, AER requires distributors to submit a pricing proposal each year for the next regulatory year. Distributors provide detailed information on network tariffs along with the eligibility criteria with respect to each network tariff.
We, at Empower, have performed a detailed analysis on network costs AER approved for distributors in Victoria which was from effective 1 January 2020. The following table presents the average network price changes for various tariffs under respective distributors.
