Economic Regulation of ENERGEX
From 1 July 2010, the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) is responsible for the economic regulation of ENERGEX under the provisions of the National Electricity Rules (NER).
The AER released the Final Determination for ENERGEX on 6 May 2010. This sets the maximum revenue that ENERGEX can recover for each year in the regulatory control period (2010-11 to 2014-15).
The approved revenue reflects the current operating environment with increased capital and operating expenditure driven by growth, increased cost of debt and changes due to the new regulatory framework.
Network growth is due to the strong growth in the number of new connections to the network. This trend is forecast to continue along with increasing demand at each connection from increased use of air-conditioning and other energy intensive appliances.
In addition, the strong economic conditions that Australia is experiencing have placed upward pressure on input costs.
The final revenue figures approved by the AER have been used to formulate the tariffs for standard control services in 2010-11. ENERGEX submitted the 2010-11 Pricing Proposal to the AER on 19 May 2010. The pricing proposal was approved by the AER on 04 June 2010.
Irrespective of the Retailer chosen to supply your electricity, ENERGEX as the distribution entity, will charge a regulated network tariff. ENERGEX has formulated a set of network tariffs reflective of the costs allocated to various customer classes in accordance with the ENERGEX Pricing Proposal.
ENERGEX Network Tariffs - 2010-11
The 2010-11 Tariff Schedule provides ENERGEX’s network tariffs for standard control services and prices for alternative control services.
For 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. network users with consumption less than 4 GWh per annum) full details of the network charges are published in ENERGEX’s Tariff Schedule.
For alternative control services:
- The Tariff Schedule sets out the list of services and the product codes and tariffs that apply in the ENERGEX distribution area. The tariffs apply to the provision of services ancillary to the main network services and include such services as the provision of street lights, check meter reads, meter testing and overhead service replacement. Retailers, Customers and/or Registered Electrical Contractors/Builders/Developers may request these services. Some services may only be requested by Retailers.

Expected Price Trends
In accordance with Clause 6.18.9 (a)(3) of the National Electricity Rules, ENERGEX must maintain a statement of expected price trends (to be updated for each regulatory year) giving an indication of how prices are expected to change over the regulatory control period.
Queensland government solar bonus scheme
The Queensland Government Solar Bonus Scheme is a program that pays domestic and other small energy customers for the surplus electricity generated from roof-top solar photovoltaic (PV) systems that is exported to the Queensland electricity grid. This scheme is available to standard asset customers who consume less than 100MWh per annum.
