The Regulatory Investment Test for Distribution (RIT-D) is a cost benefit analysis that is a requirement of the National Electricity Rules. It assesses the economic and technical impact of major network investments in the national energy market above $6 million.
The purpose of a RIT-D is to identify the preferred network or non-network option to deliver the greatest economic benefit to market. The process also ensures investment decisions are in the long term interests of customers.
