EPRA INQUIRY

Select Committee on Energy Planning and Regulation in Australia

 

On the 16th of September Senator Van, with the help from the Government and crossbench, launched a Senate inquiry into energy planning and regulation in Australia.

This inquiry is aimed to bring transparency and accountability into how the energy system is planned, and how it goes about decarbonising the grid as quickly as possible.

AEMO’s role is to manage the electricity and gas systems across Australia, by ensuring Australians have access to secure, reliable and affordable energy. This inquiry will be uncovering how consumers are able to get the best possible deal as we transition to an energy network of renewables.
