Current regulatory period 2026-2031

The approved plans sustain reliable, safe and affordable electricity supplies while also offering new services supporting the rapidly developing energy market. This includes supporting more customers to electrify their homes, charge electric vehicles, use batteries and export rooftop solar.

CitiPower and Powercor were able to offer lower distribution and metering charges for households in the first year of the current five-year period because of improved efficiencies in the business.
