EAI welcomes the opportunity to respond to the Utility Regulator’s Call for Evidence on Electricity Distribution Tariff Reform.
Electricity grids are key assets to enable a cost-effective decarbonisation with electrification at its core. Their modernisation and digitisation are critical to facilitate the connection and transport of distributed, variable renewable energy and the use of technologies such as electric vehicles.
Pricing grid services in the right way for generators, energy consumers and all new players will be critical to optimize the value of the grid for the benefit of network customers and society at large, while ensuring sufficient revenues and the right incentives for grid owners.
