Electricity Retail Industry Code public consultation paper Alternative formats available on request to PIAC - Contact PIAC
PIAC responded to the Commonwealth Department of the Environment and Energy’s consultation on regulations to implement the Australian Energy Regulator’s Default Market Offer (DMO) and reference prices for non-price-regulated regions within the National Electricity Market (NEM).
PIAC strongly supports the introduction of a DMO mechanism but outlines extreme concerns with a number of the elements of the consultation paper, and the draft code, that fundamentally undermine the intent, and likely effectiveness of the DMO reform.
