Transgrid submitted a draft Stage 2 Application for the HumeLink infrastructure project to the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) in December 2023, seeking early stakeholder engagement before lodging a final application. The submission included principal application documents, capital expenditure forecast methodologies (direct and indirect), and independent verification materials, with both confidential and public versions provided. Transgrid indicated it was updating the Regulatory Investment Test analysis to confirm no material change in project circumstances despite updated delivery costs, and invited the AER to meet to discuss key aspects of the application. The company emphasized the project's scale and consumer impact, noting that early feedback would inform the final Stage 2 Application and assist the AER's determination of the Stage 1 Application.
