Regulatory investment test projects

In order to achieve the best possible outcomes for our customers we engage and consult with all interested parties on network projects that are subject to a regulatory investment test. This is a cost-benefit test that must be applied when we assess options for solutions for network projects above $6 million  and is required under Chapter 5 of the National Electricity Rules.  

These projects relate to capital works for network expansion as well as replacement and refurbishment. Below is a list of network planning projects that are open for public consultation.

If you wish to make a submission or provide comments on:

• Draft Project Assessment Reports, please contact assetinvestment@ausgrid.com.au
• Non-Network Options Reports, please contact demandmanagement@ausgrid.com.au

For more information about the Regulatory Investment Test process, please refer here.

We also investigate projects that are not associated with the regulatory investment test where a similar but simplified process is applied to investigate non-network solutions. These can be viewed here.  

If you are a non-network provider and are interested in being involved in our future consultation processes, then register your details on our Demand Management Engagement Register.
