    The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) will host an online public forum on Thursday, 28 April 2022 to allow stakeholders to ask questions about the Tasmanian Framework and Approach (F&A), the first step in the two-year regulatory process to determine efficient prices for electricity distribution and transmission services.

    The F&A determines, amongst other things, which services will be regulated and the broad nature of their regulatory arrangements. This includes an assessment of services (service classification) and whether the AER needs to directly control the prices and/or revenues set for those services. The F&A also facilitates early consultation with consumers and other stakeholders and assists electricity distribution and transmission businesses like TasNetworks to prepare regulatory proposals.

    The AER's process for this preliminary framework and approach paper is unlike any they have recently delivered, as it considers options that will impact the future provision of potential new services.

    The AER is seeking feedback on the proposed approaches discussed in TasNetworks' position paper, and any other issues relevant to the F&A process. Customers and stakeholders are invited to attend the online forum on Thursday 28 April: Click here to register for the forum.

    Registered attendees will be emailed a Microsoft Teams meeting invite by the AER once registrations have closed.
