Key points and recommendations
- Energy and Climate Change Ministerial Council should commission an urgent,
short, comprehensive review of energy market governance - Electrification delivers the lowest cost energy system and enables the fastest
emissions reduction so this should be reflected in how market bodies apply the
national energy objectives. - The emerging deep coupling of energy, transport and industry as well as the rise
of consumer energy resources should be reflected by a “governance coupling” of
energy to transport, industry and housing policy. - A new agency that oversees energy and emissions data should be established.
- Households must be elevated in their representation in energy governance to
reflect that they are investors, not just stakeholders and consumers. - The role and economic regulation of DNSPs should be a particular area of reform
and improvement - The orderly shutdown of residential gas networks should be a clear priority
- Market reforms are aligned with policy reform to accelerate a fast and equitable
transition for households.
