On Friday, 28 March 2025 the government assumed a Caretaker role. Some consultations have been deactivated until further notice, in accordance with the Guidance on Caretaker Conventions.

Overview

We are conducting a review of the PEMM Act, to determine its effectiveness on the operation of the market and its benefit to consumers.

You can now provide feedback and share your ideas. Your feedback will help us to assess the effectiveness of these provisions and provide a final report to Government by June 2025. The terms of reference require us to assess the effectiveness with reference to Section 15 (Part 4) of the PEMM Act. These include the impacts on electricity market performance, including market efficiency, equity, reliability, affordability, emission reduction and investment outcomes.

Consultation

We undertook initial consultation through one-on-one discussions with stakeholders who registered their interest in participating in our process.
