The Australian electricity industry is facing significant challenges, as recent electricity price rises and technological change have lead to changing demand patterns and high penetrations of distributed photovoltaics. Network tariff reform is underway in response to concerns about overinvestment in network infrastructure and cross-subsidies present in existing tariff structures. In this paper, residential demand data is used to model network revenue per household in a variety of future scenarios. Revenue is particularly impacted under flat rate and time of use tariffs by high penetrations of photovoltaics, while energy efficiency has a potentially significant impact under all tariff designs tested.
