Powerlink lodges its Revenue Proposal to the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) every five years. Our Revenue Proposal outlines forecast revenue requirements to provide an efficient, safe and reliable transmission service.

The AER published its Final Decision on our 2023-27 Revised Revenue Proposal on 29 April 2022.

AER Final Decision

Our revised Revenue Proposal accepted all of the key elements of the AER’s Draft decision with updates for inflation and updated actual and forecast expenditure for 2020/21 and 2021/22. The AER Final Decision accepts all of the key elements of our Revised Revenue Proposal with standard updates to financial and market parameters.

Revised Revenue Proposal

Our Revised Revenue Proposal was lodged to the AER on 19 November 2021. We have accepted almost all elements of the AER’s Draft Decision in our Revised Revenue Proposal.

We are pleased the AER considered our Revenue Proposal is capable of acceptance in its Draft Decision and accepted all major aspects of it. Similarly, our Customer Panel has now also confirmed that capable of acceptance has been met from its point of view.
