Submission on NSW Distribution Network Service Providers 2009-2014 Regulatory Proposals

This represents PIAC’s submission to the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) on the NSW Distribution Network Service Providers (DNSPs) 2009-2014 Regulatory proposals. As distribution network charges are around 40% of an average electricity bill, any increases in the charges would lead to equity concerns for low-income and vulnerable households. As the DNSPs Regulatory Proposals each sought significant rises in regulated charges, PIAC asked the AER to ensure that certain areas of increased proposed where not above the level required.
