EUAA Submission: Domestic Gas Reservation Scheme – Draft Design Framework
DCCEEW’s GMR made recommendations to establish a Domestic Gas Reservation, getting the details right could make or break a competitive gas market. ‘…This submission emphasises that Australia’s east coast gas market is structurally failing, with high prices, opaque conduct, and supply insecurity eroding sovereign manufacturing capability. EUAA members argue that urgent, fundamental reform is required […]
EUAA Submission: Facilitating Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Under Commonwealth Grants
Many networks have received exemptions to install their own EV Charging infrastructure, AEMC is making a rule to create an automatic ability for networks to install EV Chargers where the need is required and the EV charging market is not responding. ‘…Under the proposed rule, the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) would be required to […]

EUAA Submission: Guarantee of Origin Proposed Cost Recovery Implementation Statement FY2025-26
Getting the cost recovery methodology right has large impacts on large consumers. At one end, costs could be prohibitively high for consumers, at the other, there may be a lack of incentive to new technologies to be invested in by developers. ‘…The EUAA supports the CER’s intent to smooth the introduction of cost recovery […]
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.

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
‘…EUAA members are seeking a workably competitive domestic gas market that delivers sustainable volumes of domestic gas at reasonable prices and on reasonable terms for domestic gas users. 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 […]
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 […]
