Transmission Service Categories

 

  •   Prescribed Transmission Services

Prescribed transmission services are subject to revenue regulation under the NER. These services are provided by ElectraNet within our revenue cap and include shared transmission network services to industrial-load customers and connection services provided to South Australia’s electricity distributor, ETSA Utilities.

 

  •   Negotiated Transmission Services

Negotiated transmission services are usually provided by ElectraNet to a single or small group of direct-connect customers for substation connection services related to traditional and renewable generation or industrial-loads. These services are negotiated in accordance with ElectraNet’s Negotiating Framework: required by the National Electricity Rules (NER) and approved by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER).

 

  •   Non-Regulated (Contestable) Transmission Services

Non-Regulated transmission services are services that ElectraNet is not obliged to provide and which are capable of being provided on a contestable basis by a range of suppliers. These transmission services are not regulated by the NER.

ElectraNet’s non-regulated transmission services include operations and maintenance services for privately-owned transmission lines, and connection services between ElectraNet substations and customer sites.
