The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) published the Final Decision on AusNet Services' 2018-22 Gas Access Arrangement Review Proposal earlier today. The following table summarises the AER's Final Decision relative to the Draft Decision.

As expected, the changes between the Draft Decision and Final Decision are minimal given AusNet Services' acceptance of the Draft Decision. The minor changes reflect updates for actual expenditure outcomes and higher forecast levels of customer growth.

The new Access Arrangement period commences 1 January 2018.
