Current regulatory period 2026-31

2026-2031 Regulatory Reset

The Australian Energy Regulatory announced its final determination on the business plans for the 2026-2031 regulatory period in April 2026.

The approved plans sustain reliable, safe, and affordable electricity supplies while also offering new services supporting the rapidly developing energy market. This includes supporting more customers to electrify their homes, charge electric vehicles, use batteries and export rooftop solar.

United Energy was able to offer lower distribution and metering charges for households in in the first year of the current five-year period because of improved efficiencies in the business.

Other highlights of our plans include:
 

• Investments to better withstand disruptions, restore power sooner and provide customer support in major outages from severe weather events.
• Supporting electrification across our networks to ensure that appliances function as intended
• Assisting vulnerable customers to transition away from gas and enhance energy access for First Peoples
• Improving safety and reliability by reducing the risk of vegetation coming into contact with power lines.
