EUAA Submission: Enhancing DNSP Reporting and Planning
The Rule Change aims to improve transparency and consistency of the long term plans that distribution network service providers (DNSPs) prepare for their networks. This would help distribution network users, including consumers, to understand how the distribution network is expected to change in future. They would then be better placed to make informed and efficient […]

Gas Reservation Welcomed But Must Be Part Of A Broader Set Of Market Reforms
A long-time advocate for gas market reform, leading advocate for commercial and industrial energy users, Energy Users’ Association of Australia (EUAA), welcomes the announcement that a domestic gas reservation scheme will be implemented on the east coast by mid 2027 but warns that it must be part of a broader set of reforms if it […]
EUAA Submission: Gas Networks in Transition Directions Paper
Accelerated depreciation and other matters are covered in this proposal. ‘…Our priority is ensuring that regulatory frameworks remain fit for purpose during the transition and continue to deliver efficient, equitable and transparent outcomes for consumers. We support reforms that are grounded in evidence, improve the efficiency of regulatory decision‑making, and allocate risks to those […]
EUAA Submission: AEMC Security Framework Enhancements, and, Clarity and Transparency in Security Frameworks Consultation Paper
The Consultation Paper combines two rule change requests on system security, essential system services and the NSCAS framework: • one from AEC/CEC that considers clarifying the governance of system security, and • one from AEMO who want to extend timelines and have more powers to intervene in system security ‘Thank you for the opportunity […]
EUAA Submission: AEMO Security Enablement Procedures Consultation Paper
The proposed procedures give AEMO the ability to dispatch system security according to its models. Historically, AEMO models are conservative and lead to the over-intervention by AEMO (ie predicting system security events when none occurs) leading to increased costs for consumers. ‘…EUAA supports in-principle AEMO’s proposed revisions to how multi unit dispatchable plant is […]
EUAA Submission: AEMC Early Application of a Revised Transmission Service Target Performance Incentive Scheme Draft Determination
AER is changing the STPIS to be more relevant to the current point in the energy transition, however, they also want an enduring power to make changes to the STPIS and decide themselves when and how they will apply to TNSPs without requesting a rule change from AEMC. This bares the risk of circumventing the […]
EUAA Submission: Response to Gas Market Review Final Recommendations

To achieve this, we believe Government needs to ensure adequate supply of gas that at least matches the demand (but preferably slightly over-supplies) over the proposed Medium-Term […]
Reasonable Prices and Sustainable Volumes Critical to A Workably Competitive Gas Market
Today the Energy Users’ Association of Australia (EUAA) provided the Federal Government with its submission to the latest round of Gas Market Reform consultations with a particular focus on the successful establishment of a domestic gas reservation scheme. The EUAA has long argued that such a scheme should have been in place at the commencement […]
EUAA Submission: AEMO ECGS Reliability & Supply Adequacy Functions Consultation Paper
What this will do is establish modelling and triggers to advise the market to avoid gas shortfalls and if the market does not make up the shortfall, then AEMO’s powers will be triggered and AEMO will intervene. With similar measures already in the NEM, we see AEMO stepping in and directing generators and/or loads to […]

The Energy Users’ Association of Australia (EUAA) welcomes the formal establishment of the $5 billion Net Zero Fund and the ongoing commitment from the Federal Government to support Australian industry. “Funding support, in the form of concessional finance, is a very welcome initiative as Australian industry is faced with the dual challenge of decarbonising their […]
CASE STUDY: EUAA Successfully Influences AEMC’s Integrating Price Responsive Resources (IPRR) Draft Determination
BACKGROUND In 2024/25 AEMO had become increasingly concerned about its ability to effectively balance the grid due to the enormous volume of Consumer Energy Resources (CER) resources (i.e. rooftop solar and batteries) being deployed which sit behind the customers meter and are therefore, essentially invisible. For industry, AEMO were also looking at refrigeration and industrial […]
