The Australian Energy Market Commission is continuing to work closely with stakeholders on the Optional Firm Access, Design and Testing Review.

Having last month held the third meeting of the advisory panel, which was established to provide the Commission with strategic advice on the Review, the focus of consultation is now on two workshops being held to discuss a Supplementary Report on Pricing. 

Stakeholders are reminded to register for one of two workshops to be held in Sydney on Thursday 13 November, and Melbourne on Friday 14 November, both from 10am-12pm. The workshops will discuss:

• the Long Run Incremental Cost pricing method;
• how the prototype pricing model can be used; and
• results from the prototype pricing model.

To help stakeholders engage with this aspect of the optional firm access review, a prototype pricing model has been developed to improve understanding of how the pricing method could be implemented in practice. This model is available to stakeholders on request.

Please register here if you are interested in attending this workshop in Sydney.
