On 18 June 2010, the Commission published its Draft Report for public consulation, which sets out its draft advice to the Ministerial Council on Energy on whether Chapter 6 of the National Electricity Rules most efficiently accomodates cost recovery for smart metering infrastructure mandated by a Ministerial determination.

We invite submissions on this Draft Report by 23 July 2010. Following consideration of these submissions, the Commission will publish its Final Report by 31 August 2010.
