AusNet is initiating this Regulatory Investment Test for Distribution (RIT-D) to investigate and evaluate options to efficiently maintain a reliable supply of power to the customers in the Beveridge area due to the continued residential, commercial and industrial development within the Northern Growth Corridor which results in increasing feeder loading levels of existing feeders post implementation of BVE ZSS and BVE31, BVE32 Distribution feeders.
Publication of this Options Screening Report (OSR) represents the first step in the RIT-D process in accordance with clause 5.17 of the National Electricity Rules (NER) and section 4.2 of the RIT-D Application Guidelines.
The purpose of the RIT-D is to identify the credible option that maximizes the present value of net economic benefit to all those who produce, consume and transport electricity in the National Electricity Market (NEM).
AusNet welcomes written submissions on the credible options presented in this OSR and invites proposals from proponents of potential non-network options. Submissions should be emailed to [email protected] on or before 11 January 2027. In the subject field, please reference ‘RIT-D OSR BVE33 Distribution Feeder’.
