Use of network charge
The local distributor charges for the use of the transmission and distribution networks. Because both networks are natural monopolies, the local distributor must operate in a completely open and transparent way with respect to these charges.

The use of network charges are published from time to time and all retailers pay identical rates.

The network charges above include both transmission and distribution use of system components. 

The transmission use of system component is paid to the operator of the transmission system. It covers the use of the network from the generator to the distributor’s bulk supply point. As a local distributor ActewAGL pays this amount to Transgrid.

The distribution use of system component covers the use of the distributor’s network from the bulk supply point to the customer’s point of connection.

These charges are subject to independent regulation. They are determined, as far as possible, to be cost reflective. ActewAGL has established a number of different network rates.

Separate charges for the provision of metering equipment, meter reading and data forwarding will apply.

Application of rates
The network charge applicable to each installation shall be in accordance with the following classification of premises, places and purposes:

The Residential Basic Network charge shall be applicable to installations at private dwellings, excluding serviced apartments, but including:

•	living quarters for members and staff of religious orders
•	living quarters on farms
•	charitable homes
•	retirement villages
•	residential sections of nursing homes and hospitals
•	residential sections of boarding schools and educational institutions
•	churches, buildings or premises which are used principally for public worship
•	approved caravan sites.

Serviced apartments are premises which from time to time are available for hire for accommodation for periods that may be less than one month and where services available to the apartments include the provision and laundering of bed linen.

In respect of multiple dwellings of three or more dwelling units, the Residential Basic Network charge will be applicable only where each dwelling unit is separately metered and the account is in the name of the occupant.

When a portion of premises is used principally for domestic purposes, loads not exceeding five kilowatts, which are used for other than domestic purposes may be supplied at the Residential Basic Network charge. For this purpose, the loading of equipment shall be taken to be:
•	for permanently connected equipment, the actual rating of the equipment;
•	for light fittings, 60 watts per light fitting;
•	for plug sockets:
-	sockets rated 10 amperes or 10 amperes per phase: 500 watts or 500 watts per phase
-	sockets rated other than 10 amperes: the wattage rating shall be taken as 50 times the current rating of the socket.

The Residential TOU Network charge is available only to customers eligible for the Residential Basic Network charge with a meter able to be read as a time-of-use meter and to recharge facilities for electric vehicles on residential premises.  Consumers on this tariff with a meter with two elements providing separate time-of-use consumption data from each element may have the time-of-use charges applied separately to each register.

The Residential 5000 Network charge is available only to customers eligible for the Residential Basic Network charge. Customers are ineligible to apply for this charge if they have been on this charge in the previous 12 months and have since been supplied energy at the Residential Basic Network charge, the Residential TOU Network charge or the Residential with Heat Pump Network charge to that premises.

The Residential with Heat Pump Network charge is available only to customers eligible for the Residential Basic Network charge and who have installed a fixed operational electric appliance which incorporates a mechanical refrigeration unit and a fan or fans, arranged so that the evaporator and the condenser can be switched to heat or cool air blown through the appliance (heat pump). Customers are ineligible to apply for this charge if they have been on this charge in the previous 12 months and have since been supplied energy at the Residential Basic Network charge, the Residential TOU Network charge or Residential 5000 Network charge to that premises.

The General Network charge is available to customers where no other defined charge, except for an off-peak network charge, is utilised, and shall include:
•	installations on farms which are not living quarters and have loads exceeding five kilowatts (as defined above)
•	nursing homes and hospitals, excluding residential sections
•	boarding schools and educational institutions, excluding residential sections
•	motels, hotels, serviced apartments and any form of accommodation used to house temporary residents for periods of less than one month at caravan parks or other temporary accommodation sites
•	shops, offices, warehouses, factories, professional rooms
•	social or sporting club facilities not used for domestic accommodation.

Off-peak charges are available only to customers utilising a controlled load element, taking all other energy at Residential Basic Network, Residential TOU Network or General Network rates. These charges are not available where the customer’s meter is read as an interval meter. 

The Off-Peak (1) Night Network charge shall provide operation for a minimum of six hours and a maximum of eight hours within any one day, between 2200 hours (10.00pm) and 0700 hours (7.00am). 
This off-peak charge is applicable to 
•	recharging electric vehicles, 
•	compressing natural gas for CNG vehicles,
•	water heating storage units where electricity is used to supplement other forms of energy (for example, solar hot water),  and 
•	permanent heat (or cold) storage installations of a design and rating acceptable to ActewAGL, which absorb their major energy during restricted times, but which may be boosted at the principal charge at other times.

The Off-Peak (3) Day & Night Network charge shall provide operation for a total of 13 hours in any one day. The said 13 hours shall be comprised of eight hours between 2200 hours (10.00pm) and 0700 hours (7.00am) and five hours between 0900 hours (9.00am) and 1700 hours (5.00pm).  The off-peak charges are applicable to permanent heat (or cold) storage installations of a design and rating acceptable to ActewAGL, which absorb their major energy during restricted times, but which may be boosted at the principal charge at other times.
The Off Peak (3) Day & Night Network charge is applicable to:
•	water heating storage units for which a test certificate has been issued indicating compliance with Australian Standard 1056 and having lower or upper and lower elements but with any upper element connected to the principal charge (rated delivery shall be not less than 160 litres)
•	water heating storage units where electricity is used to supplement other forms of energy (for example, solar hot water)
•	storage space heating or cooling including under-floor, concrete-slab heating systems
•	swimming or spa pool heating, and associated auxiliaries, but not to spa baths.

ActewAGL will nominate the time settings for Off Peak 1 & 3 charges.

The Streetlighting Network charge shall be applicable to the night-time lighting of streets and public ways and places.

Time of use, time of use demand network and time of use capacity charges. The customer must make available all necessary equipment together with adequate accommodation for the installation and proper maintenance of the installation, all to the satisfaction of ActewAGL.

The low voltage time of use capacity charge is to be applied to all non-residential customers with a generator, other than a stand-by generator, connected on the customer’s side of the meter.  This charge is available to all low voltage customers.  

The high voltage time of use demand charges may be available to customers connected at a nominal voltage not less than 11,000 volts.

The Small Unmetered Loads Network charge shall be applicable to eligible installations less than 1,000 Watts, as determined by ActewAGL, including:

Application of rates

ACT Government’s Electricity Feed-in Renewable Energy Generation scheme (FiT scheme)
Where a retailer has paid an occupier of a premises in accordance with subsection 6(3) of the Electricity Feed-in (Renewable Energy Premium) Act 2008, ActewAGL Distribution will reimburse the retailer in accordance with subsection 6(2) of that Act.  ActewAGL Distribution’s NUOS invoices for retailers will show the reimbursement as a negative amount in the charges.

Retailers are to apply to ActewAGL Distribution for a network tariff code if a relevant network tariff code is not listed above.

Calculation methodology for Feed-in tariffs with interval meters

The tariff codes above starting with 2 or 3 will be applied with the normal tariff for that NMI, e.g. if existing NMI network tariff code is 010, then this site will now have 010 + 201 etc.
For other tariff codes starting with 4 or 6 to 10, the feed-in tariff code above starting with 2 or 3 that is to be applied along with the calculation methodology for that tariff code with interval metering data.

The network charge applicable to each installation with interval meters shall be in accordance with the following:
1.	for customers with interval gross metering;
•	calculation shall be as per existing standard for kVA demand charges, that is 30 minute clocked interval calculated coincident (where applicable)
•	data stream for energy from the grid, calculation shall be E streams only applied to energy times for kWh rates
•	data stream for energy to the grid, calculation for Feed-in shall be B stream only.
e.g. NMI Network Tariff Code 401, E streams total accumulation = 3000kWh, B stream = 1000kWh
3000 x 6.95c per kWh = $208.50
1000 x -44.05c per kWh = -$440.50.

2.	for customers with interval sub gross metering
The customer must be paid for gross export to the grid, and must also pay for gross import from the grid.  However, in this circumstance, as the customer will use the energy from the generation system within the site before passing to the grid, the calculation for the Gross Feed-in tariff must consider this in the first instance as if that power first came from the grid. Therefore the Gross Feed-in rate will be the current feed –in amount (shown as a minus) plus the standard energy charge. E.g. NMI Network Tariff Code 408; 2010 feed-in rate is minus 39.70c per kWh, plus 2010 energy rate 9.03c per kWh. Therefore Feed-in rate for this tariff is minus 30.67c per kWh. 
•	calculation shall be as per existing standard for demand charges (where applicable), 
•	data stream for energy from the grid, calculation shall be E streams only applied to energy times for kWh rates 
•	data stream for energy to the grid, calculation for Feed-in shall be B stream only.
