Dual function assets Dual-function assets are high voltage transmission assets forming part of the distribution network. Transmission network service providers usually operate these assets. Considering transmission assets as part of a distribution determination avoids the need for a separate transmission proposal. Where a network service provider owns, controls or operates assets, we are required to consider whether we should price these assets according to the transmission or distribution pricing principles. TasNetworks does not currently own, control or operate any dual-function assets, nor did it own, control or operate any dual function assets at the time of the last determination. Therefore, we are not required to, and will not; make any decision under the NER regarding dual-function assets.
