    Electricity giant SP AusNet has appealed to increase charges to consumers to cover the cost of smart meters dismissed | Herald Sun

    AN electricity giant trying to slug Victorian customers tens of millions of dollars more for smart meters has had its legal bid for higher prices rebuffed. The Australian Competition Tribunal has dismissed distributor SP AusNet”s appeal to increase charges over the next two years to cover communications technology costs. The rejected $72.2 million cash grab follows criticism over the company”s choice of technology for the state”s controversial compulsory smart meter rollout. Other networks are using a different and cheaper communications technology. Australian Energy Regulator chairman Andrew Reeves said the tribunal ruling was a significant consumer win.
    “It confirms the AER was correct in deciding that consumers should not be required to bear the cost of SP AusNet”s decision not to switch to a lower-cost technology,” AER chairman Andrew Reeves said.
