Recovering the Costs of AEMO Participant Fees
EUAA Submission: National Electricity Amendment Rule ERC0335
‘…The EUAA’s earlier submission on this matter did not support the rule change. As we noted in our presentation to the recent Forum, we appreciated the AEMC publishing a Directions Paper and not proceeding with an expedited process. It is certainly not a non-controversial matter as submissions and subsequent discussion have shown. We also appreciated […]

EUAA Submission: Victorian Offshore Wind Directions Paper
‘…The EUAA supports the pursuit of net zero targets but this needs to be done at least cost, not at any cost.

EUAA Submission: Capacity Mechanism High Level Design Paper
‘…We welcome the opportunity to make a submission to the Capacity Mechanism High-Level Design Paper (Design Paper).

EUAA Submission: Review of Reliability Standard & Settings
‘…We welcome the opportunity to make comment on the review of reliability standard and settings. While the Draft’s assumption is that this standard and settings from this review will apply until 30 June 2028, the outcome of recent Energy Ministers’ discussions suggest the introduction of some form of capacity market will occur much earlier than […]

‘…Thank you for the opportunity to make a submission to the ESB Transmission Access Reform Discussion Paper (Discussion Paper). We appreciate the work being undertaken by the ESB across a number of key areas of the Post 2025 Market Design Project, especially given the time pressure they are under to deliver advice to energy ministers […]
EUAA Submission: AEMO 2022/23 Budget
‘…This submission focuses on two issues: the level of engagement on the proposed budget has fallen well short of best practice we have no idea whether AEMO is a financially efficient organisation in the exercise of its obligations under the rules So we can make not comment on whether the proposed budget should be supported […]
EUAA Submission: Humelink Early Works Stage 1 CPA
‘… The EUAA supports the pursuit of net zero targets and support building new transmission infrastructure that will help enable it. However, we must pursue net zero at least cost, not at any cost.

EUAA Submission: ACCC Netback Price Estimates Methodology
‘…In our earlier submission on the calculation of LNG netback prices, we supported the development of a 5 year forward LNG netback price. We have reviewed the proposed methodology from Gaffney Cline. While we do not have any particular expertise in these matters, the approach proposed by Gaffney Cline appears robust. We appreciate the sensitivity […]
EUAA Submission: AEMC Improving Consultation In The Rules
‘…The EUAA are becoming increasingly concerned by what we believe to be a gradual decline in good engagement process and sound governance of many aspects of the NEM. If this trend continues consumers will lose confidence in the ability of our peak regulatory and market bodies to deliver outcomes that are consistent with the NEO. […]
EUAA Submission: National Electricity Amendment ERC0335
‘…It is surprising given the AEMC’s role to further the National Electricity Objective, that it seems to regard this rule change as a simple administrative process where the outcome is obvious. The Commission sees it as non-controversial and hence can easily be dealt with in an expedited process (p.3): “The rule change does not impact […]
