Western Power is due to lodge its next access arrangement proposal (AA6) with the ERA in February 2027. Prior to this, we are reviewing the framework and approach for the review. This will determine the services that will be regulated through the access arrangement and the broad nature of regulatory arrangements for the AA6 period.
We have published an issues paper seeking stakeholder views.
