The Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) has reached a final decision regarding the claim for compensation submitted by Sunset Power International Pty Ltd, trading as Delta Electricity (Delta).

The claim sought compensation for opportunity costs incurred due to the application of the administered price cap in June 2022.

Under clause 3.14.6 of the National Electricity Rules (NER) and the AEMC compensation guidelines, market participants may claim compensation for certain losses experienced during an administered price period when the administered price cap (APC) or administered floor price is applied.

After careful consideration of Delta's claim and the supporting evidence, the Commission has determined that Delta is not eligible for compensation in this instance.

The AEMC will notify the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) of its decision.

The Commission assesses each claim on its individual merits, in accordance with the NER and the AEMC compensation guidelines.
