Supporting documents
The full submission, including models, will be available from the AER’s website in December. In the meantime the following key supporting documents are available for download:

The Revised Proposal has been shaped by feedback from our customers and stakeholders in the most diverse and comprehensive engagement program we've ever completed, including direct engagement with over 830 individuals on 60+ topics over a 2.5 year period.

Acknowledging that households and businesses are experiencing increasing cost of living pressures, the Revised Proposal reflects our commitment to provide Tasmanians with clean and reliable power as safely and affordably as possible. Customers also told us they want proactive investment in renewables, consistent reliability across the state, and a transparent commitment to sustainability.

Balancing these preferences in a time of significant energy transition, economic uncertainty and rising cost of living pressures has been a complex yet crucial task. We've sought to achieve this by constraining our capital and operational expenditure to the lowest sustainable levels, despite increasing real costs and inflation, to offset higher costs associated with items such as cyber security and insurance.

While forecast revenue and bill impacts have increased from our initial Combined Proposal of January 2023, the reasons for these increases (inflation, interest rates), are unfortunately outside our control. To reduce the effect of these bill increases on our customers, we've recommended a smoother price path in the Revised Proposal, based on direct feedback from our customer representatives and stakeholders.
