Ring-fencing Guideline
Information sharing register
In accordance with the information sharing provisions outline in clause 4.3 of the AER Ring-Fencing Guideline, Power and Water Corporation (Power and Water) has developed the following information register which captures information requests relating to information identified by clause 4.3.4(a) which a related electricity service provider (RESP) or other legal entity who provides contestable electricity services has requested access to.
Ring-fenced information which is shared with a RESP or other legal entity will be made available in accordance with the terms and conditions set out in Power and Water’s Information Sharing Protocol.[1]
The register will include
- Requesting legal entity (Business name and ABN)
- Date of request
- Relationship with Power and Water (RESP / non-RESP)
- Type of request
- Description of the kind and purpose of the information being sought
- Approved/ declined
There are currently no information sharing requests registered.
[1] The definition of ‘ring-fenced information’ under version 3 of the AER Ring-fencing Guideline (likely in force in November 2021) is:
“Ring-fenced information means electricity information, acquired or generated by a DNSP in connection with its provision of direct control services, that is not already publicly available, and includes electricity information: that the DNSP derives from that information; or provided to the DNSP by or in relation to a customer or prospective customer of direct control services.
[Note: aggregated financial information, or other service performance information, that does not relate to an identifiable customer, or class of customer, is excluded from the definition of ring-fenced information by reason of the definition of electricity information in this clause 1.4 of this Guideline.]”
“Electricity information means information about electricity networks, electricity customers or electricity services, other than:
- aggregated financial information; or
- other service performance information;
that does not relate to an identifiable customer or class of customer”
