Current Regulatory reset

2021-2026 Regulatory Reset

The AER announced its final determination on the business plans for our current regulatory period in April 2021.

The approved plans sustain reliable, safe, and affordable electricity supplies while also offering new services supporting the rapidly developing energy market. This includes enabling customers to export from rooftop solar or connect batteries and electric vehicle chargers.

Household customers benefitted from a $60 reduction in network charges in the first year of the current five-year period. This was made possible by improved efficiencies in the business. United Energy is one of the top five most productive distribution businesses in the National Electricity Market.

Other highlights of our plans include:

  • Increased expenditure on network safety, reliability, bushfire mitigation and environmental obligations
  • A solar enablement program to help more customers export excess rooftop solar into our network
  • Upgrading zone substations and feeder lines at Doncaster, Keysborough, Mornington and East Malvern to get ready for new customer choices like electric vehicles
  • Bringing our customer services onshore to a Customer Contact Centre in Victoria to improve the customer experience.

The promises made in our regulatory proposal have been captured in a set of commitments to customers that now form priorities for our teams. Find out more at Customer
