Proposal

On 31 January 2024, we submitted our 2025-30 Regulatory Proposal for managing the SA electricity distribution network with the Australian Energy Regulator.

Our Proposal reflects the views and priorities of our customer and stakeholders; balancing price and services in the short term while positioning the network for our renewable energy future.

Our proposal was informed by the input of over 2,000 people including feedback on a Draft Proposal in July last year.

On 1st February 2024, we held an online presentation where we highlighted key elements of our 2025-30 Regulatory Proposal and how we have responded to submissions and feedback of our Draft Proposal. A copy of the presentation can be found below, or alternatively you can watch a copy of the presentation.
