We actively engage with various market bodies and industry groups to drive sensible and reasonable market and regulatory reform for transitioning energy markets.

We provide submissions to various consultation processes, with a view to:

  • minimising the long-term cost of the energy system for which consumers ultimately pay
  • improving market transparency
  • avoiding unnecessary complexity
  • ensuring change (and the cost of change) is based on holistic assessment of overall benefits being delivered to consumers.

Copies of our full submissions are available below.
