PIAC lodged a submission to the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal’s (IPART) position outlined in the Supplementary Draft Report (the Draft) and welcomed IPART’s further examination of Non-Urban Metering Reform Charges.
Our submission broadly supported the Draft report’s position. However, we suggested a more consistent approach to charges and cost recovery under the Draft’s pricing principle, so that risks and costs are borne by those most able to manage them.
