The tariff design of the controlled and uncontrolled load tariffs include a service charge and a flat consumption charge. These tariffs are set out in table 19.7. The controlled load tariffs utilise the network at off–peak times at a reduced rate. However, the uncontrolled load tariff is not cost reflective as it allows consumption at offpeak rates at all times, including peak periods. TasNetworks also noted this tariff is not cost reflective because it is subsidised by other customers. The cross subsidy is due to historical policy settings which TasNetworks acknowledged are no longer relevant or compliant with the current regulatory arrangements. TasNetworks proposed to remove the subsidy by aligning the uncontrolled load tariff to be at parity with the residential low voltage general network tariff. TasNetworks considered this an appropriate approach as there is no distinguishable difference between the customers on these tariffs. We maintain our draft decision consideration to approve TasNetworks' proposed approach to remove the cross subsidy over time as a movement along the cost reflectivity spectrum. The removal of the cross subsidy will allow tariffs to be based on the cost of providing the service. Table .
