AMI – Advanced Metering Infrastructure

7

On 2 May 2014, SP AusNet announced to the market that its fleet of smart meters would be fully operational by 30 June

2014.

As the number of smart meters connected to the AMI systems increased, earlier this year SP AusNet encountered periods

of significant instability in AMI system performance. SP AusNet is undertaking a review to address this instability.

The review is ongoing – we anticipate that the remediation strategy, timing and associated investment will be finalised by

September.

At this stage of the technical review we believe that the end-to-end AMI system is sound and a replacement of the core AMI

system is not required.

SP AusNet will seek to recover additional expenditure via the regulatory framework. The AER will only review the additional

expenditure after it has been incurred. There is a risk that some or all of the expenditure may not be approved.

Any additional investment will be incremental to the current $89m shortfall relating to the 2012-15 budget and charges

application ($43.5m subject to Federal Court appeal, $45.6m disallowed costs not appealed).

The Victorian Government announced in late November 2013 a new policy under which distribution businesses would pay a

rebate to customers who do not have a smart meter by 30 June 2014.

Tax Update

• As noted by the Chairman, SP AusNet is litigating two tax disputes against the

ATO and is assisting the ATO with an Audit review

• ATO engagement remains a key focus for SP AusNet. In relation to the:

• Section 163AA impost dispute, the High Court will hear SP AusNet’s special leave

application in September 2014 and advise whether a High Court appeal hearing is granted

• Intellectual Property dispute, in November 2014 the Full Federal Court will hear the ATO’s

appeal against the judgment in favour of SP AusNet, with a decision likely in early 2015

• ATO Audit of intra-group loans arrangements, the Audit review is expected to conclude

(and ATO position known) before November 2014.

Regulatory reform – longer term

10

The way in which electricity is supplied and used is changing:

• Technology, information availability and the high price of delivered energy is driving increased

distributed generation and consumer participation in energy decisions

Some key reforms already in progress but the reviews do not consider how industry is structured

for a different energy future

A longer term vision for the electricity sector is highly desirable:

• Providing clarity on the likely long-term policy developments to facilitate good future outcomes

• Structural tariff reform likely

We are developing future framework options to engage policymakers and other stakeholders
