Dave CullAurora Energy is to launch an independent review of its electricity network and seek a price rise to help pay for fixing it. Mr Fletcher, who took up his new role in January, said the ''time was right'' for an independent review under a new management team. ''It will be a completely independent review and perhaps put to bed some continuing claims that things are not all as they should be.'' ''I think if it turns out that this independent review confirms their previous internally held view of the state of things, it will vindicate the way they've done it.'' Any lines company could apply for a CPP, which typically sought to increase lines charges for consumers to fund network upgrades.
