The Utility Regulator has reviewed the responses to the consultation paper about the supplier transmission use of system charging, which closed on 16 March 2011. The original consultation paper and resulting decision paper can be viewed by clicking the links below:

The resulting changes to the method of charging will be implemented by SONI from 1 October 2011. These changes are:
* the simplification of the time bands used for charging;
* the equalisation of charges for all use of the transmission system (removal of a cross-subsidy inherent in the current tariffs);
* the termination of transmission charging rebates for distribution connected generation; and
* the use of a new cost allocation model that reflects these changes.
