The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) has released its final decision on the Jemena Gas Network’s (JGN’s) access arrangement proposal for the period from 1 July 2010 to 30 June 2015.
The final decision approved a forecast total operating expenditure across the period – including maintenance – of $A704.3 million.
The AER approved the average increase in haulage reference tariff of 5.3 per cent from 1 July 2010 and by 1.96 per cent over the remaining years of the access period.
The AER removed the minimum demand bill for demand customers who transition from the volume tariff class to the demand tariff class and did not approve the ability of JGN to be able to introduce and remove reference tariffs within the arrangement period.
