Reallocation of National Transmission Planner Costs

COAG Decision Regulation Impact Statement – Australian Energy Market Commission

On 29 October 2020, the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) released the final rule determination and rule titled National Electricity Amendment (Reallocation of National Transmission Planner Costs) Rule 2020.

The final rule has been developed through an expedited process and will allow the Australian Energy Market Operator to cost recover its national transmission planner function fees from co-ordinating network service providers, who will in turn include these fees in their transmission pricing. The rule also clarifies the recovery of fees in Victoria where the Australian Energy Market Operator is also the co-ordinating network service provider.

The AEMC considers that the final rule will, or is likely to, contribute to the achievement of the National Electricity Objective (NEO).

The National Electricity Amendment (Reallocation of National Transmission Planner Costs) Rule 2020 has been assessed by the Office of Best Practice Regulation as compliant with requirements for a Council of Australian Governments Decision RIS.
