Electricity lines customised price-quality path

Electricity distribution businesses initially start on a DPP, which relies on relatively low cost approaches for setting price or revenue limits and minimum standards for quality of service. If a business believes the default path does not meet its needs, particularly in terms of future investment requirements, it can apply for a CPP. A customised path is tailored to the company's specific plans and requires us to complete a detailed assessment of its proposal before making a decision on what its price path and quality standards should be.
