Powercor Regulatory Reset 2026-31

The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) has released its final decision on Powercor's 2026-31 regulatory proposal. Find out what we're doing over the next five years and how you can still play a role.

Electricity is now a bigger part of everyday life. The way you use it and interact with us has changed too. Our plan for 2026-31 ensures we can meet your needs in the years ahead.

Over the past few years we spoke to more than 10,700 customers and stakeholders to understand what matters most to you.

You told us you want:

• reliable, safe and resilient electricity supply.
• everyone to have access to affordable and equitable electricity.
• help to transition towards sustainable energy sources for a cleaner future.

Your feedback directly shaped our proposal and revised proposal. With the regulatory process now complete, our focus is on delivering our plan. 

We’ll invest in initiatives that will allow us to continue delivering safe and reliable power to our 1.3 million customers as Victoria electrifies and climate impacts intensify.

At the same time, we’ll reduce distribution and metering costs by $6 a year for an average residential customer in the Powercor network.

Our plan includes resilience initiatives to help our networks better withstand extreme weather events and bushfires, upgrades to support more solar and electric vehicles, smarter technology to help manage demand and greater data visibility.

We want to invest $3.6 billion in our network from 2026 to 2031.
