EUAA Submission: Regional Benefit Directions Procedures
Emily Wood | November 7, 2023
‘…The EUAA supports a process for establishing a regional benefit factor (RBF) derived from an AEMO Direction (direction) for the purpose of distributing the cost associated with the direction equitably and transparently.
The EUAA agrees with Principles 1 to 4 presented in the Regional Benefit Directions Procedures consultation paper, whereby for each direction,
- AEMO must calculate an RBF for each region with a value between zero (no benefit) and one (the whole benefit),
- answer the question of “who stands to benefit most from the issuance of the direction?”, and if there is zero benefit in a region then assign an RBF of zero to that region,
- not define an RBF by physical location of the directed participant, i.e be consistent with the second principle,
- If a direction is issued to address a problem in a single region, assign an RBF of one to that region and zero to all other regions…..’
