The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has determined nbn’s prices did not exceed maximum regulated prices during the 2014-15 financial year.
The ACCC issued issued a final determination on NBN Co’s revenue controls for 2014-15, in accordance with the Long Term Revenue Constraint Methodology (the LTRCM), which is set out in nbn’s special access undertaking (the SAU).
The SAU is a key component of the regulatory framework for the National Broadband Network (NBN).
The purpose of the revenue controls is to ensure nbn has the opportunity to recover its long-term costs over the duration of the SAU and those costs are incurred in a prudent and efficient manner.
ACCC Commissioner Cristina Cifuentes said, “The ACCC is satisfied that the values proposed by nbn for 2014-15 for determining allowable revenues for 2014-15 are consistent with the revenue control provisions in the SAU,”
The final determination follows the ACCC’s March 2016 draft determination, which proposed to accept nbn’s proposal.
