made under the
Utilities Act 2000, section 54E (National regulatory obligations and costs)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Section 54E of the Utilities Act 2000 requires the Levy Administrator, appointed under section 25N, to determine the amount of national regulatory costs to be applied to each industry sector. The determination is a notifiable instrument.

The four energy industry sectors subject to the levy are electricity distribution, electricity supply, gas distribution and gas supply.

National regulatory costs are made up of costs to the Territory of meeting its national regulatory obligations each year. The costs relate to the regulatory work of the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) and the COAG Energy Council (COAG EC). 

The Utilities (Energy industry levy – national regulatory obligations and costs) Determination 2017 sets out these cost determinations.
