Information collected during ElectraNet’s customer engagement program has been distilled into a set of insights.

ElectraNet’s vision for the South Australian transmission network is that it will deliver affordable and reliable power supplies that support customer choices for a sustainable future.

This document describes the methods and processes by which ElectraNet will develop the forecasts for its operating and capital expenditure programs for the coming regulatory period, in accordance with clause 6A.10.1B of the National Electricity Rules.

A process has been established for the resolution of RIT-T disputes, including the required timeframe for the lodgement of a dispute submission.

Should any relevant parties seek to challenge the conclusions of a Project Assessment Conclusions Report, ElectraNet will seek to resolve the issue in accordance with Clause 5.6.6A of the National Electricity Rules and the Regulatory Investment Test for Transmission Application Guidelines published by the AER in June 2010.

A dispute must be lodged with the AER and ElectraNet within thirty days of ElectraNet publishing the Project Assessment Conclusions Report.

The Energy Reform Implementation Group (ERIG) conducted a review of the operation of Australia’s energy sector and found that the investment decision-making criteria in the Regulatory Test were appropriate and should be retained. However, the ERIG recommended that the reliability and market benefits sections of the Test should be amalgamated.

Consultations were conducted on the framework and the outcome was that the new RIT-T process would remove the distinction between reliability-driven projects and projects motivated by the delivery of market benefits. Proposed electricity transmission projects are now assessed against both local reliability standards and their ability to deliver broader benefits to the market.

The RIT-T provides a single framework for all electricity transmission investments and removes the previous distinction in the Regulatory Test between reliability-driven projects and projects motivated by the delivery of market benefits.
