EUAA Submission: Gas Industry Mandatory Code of Conduct
‘….The EUAA strongly supports the Federal Government’s proposed mandatory code of conduct (the Code) for the east coast gas industry. ACCC reports have repeatedly shown over the last six years that the east coast gas market has failed to provide a competitive outcome for consumers with producers being able to exercise market power.

EUAA Submission: Incorporating An Emissions Reduction Objective Into The NEO
‘After reading the AEMC’s “How the National Energy Objectives Shape Our Decisions”, the inclusion of emission reduction objectives in the national energy laws would appear to have little-to-no impact, as state and federal emissions reduction and climate policies are already considered in all decisions.

EUAA Submission: Gas Price Cap Instrument
‘…The EUAA has consistently highlighted, and the ACCC has consistently concluded, the existence of market failure in the east coast gas market.

EUAA Submission: Ring Fencing Waiver For DNSPS To Bid Voltage Control RERT To AEMO
‘…With the expected increased demand for RERT in the future, the addition of another source to the AEMO tender process should have benefits for consumers in lowering the costs of RERT they would otherwise pay.

EUAA Submission: Transmission Planning and Investment Stage 3 – EPR0087
‘This submission focuses exclusively on Chapter 4 of the Stage 3 Draft Report on the regulatory treatment of concessional finance in the National Electricity Rules.

It can apply […]
