  TasNetworks has joined forces with fellow electricity distribution network service providers (DNSPs), Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy, Essential Energy, evoenergy and PowerWater (NT) to jointly engage on the classification of distribution services (service classification).

  What is service classification?
  Service classification refers to the types of services that DNSPs provide to their customers (like public lighting, metering, connections), and includes those services that are regulated by the Australian Energy Regulator. Like to know more? Visit the AER's website.
  

  Why engage on service classification?
  Understanding the perspectives of customers and stakeholders on this fundamental regulatory issue is critical to the successful development of revenue proposals for each of the above utilities, especially as customers anticipate the availability of emerging energy services to meet their needs as new technologies become available.

  How are we engaging?
  The engagement has been built around a joint consultation paper (available here), followed by an online forum on the 15 September to discuss the issues raised in the paper.

  Written responses on the consultation paper are welcome by COB 30 September 2021. Please refer to the Overview section at the front of the paper for details on how to make a submission.

  Please email R24@tasnetworks.com.au should you wish to attend the forum on the 15 September 2021.
