Economic regulation of ENERGEX
As stipulated by the National Electricity Rules (NER), ENERGEX's economic regulation is governed by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER).
The AER released its Final Determination for ENERGEX, on 6 May 2010, setting out the maximum revenue that we can recover for each year in the regulatory control period of 2010-11 to 2014-15.
The approved revenue reflects our current operating environment with increased capital and operating expenditure driven by growth, increased debt and regulatory changes.
Network expansion with increased demand for the use of air-conditioning and other energy-intensive appliances at each connection has set a strong growth trend that is forecast to continue.

ENERGEX Network Tariffs 2011-12
In accordance with the ENERGEX Pricing Proposal, our network tariffs have been formulated to reflect the costs allocated to various customer classes.

Standard control services:
- For customers who have non-standard or significant connection arrangements (i.e. generally network users with annual consumption greater than 4 GWh), ENERGEX will provide site specific tariffs directly to the network users and their retailer of choice.
- For customers with standard connection arrangements (i.e. generally network users with consumption less than 4 GWh per annum), full details of the network charges are published in the ENERGEX Tariff Schedule.
Alternative control services:

The Tariff Schedule sets out the list of services, product codes and tariffs that apply in the ENERGEX distribution area.
The tariffs apply to the provision of services ancillary to the main network.
Retailers, customers and/or registered electrical contractors/builders/ developers may request these services. Some services may only be requested by retailers.
