On 10 December 2012, the AER released the Better regulation issues paper with more information on the guidelines and our plans for the consultation processes for each work stream.

The AER held a videoconference forum on 18 December 2012 to discuss our work program and the consultation process that we are planning.

The AER is seeking direct input from industry and other stakeholders into issues which fall within the Power of Choice work stream throughout 2013. To enable this, the AER intends to hold workshops where stakeholders are given the opportunity to discuss issues and provide feedback directly to us.

On 26 March 2013, the AER released an information paper on the DMEGCIS as part of the Better Regulation reform program.

If interested stakeholders wish to provide written feedback on the information paper this can be emailed to the AER via DemandManagementaer [dot] gov [dot] au (DemandManagement[at]aer[dot]gov[dot]au) or NSWACTelectricityaer [dot] gov [dot] au (NSWACTelectricity[at]aer[dot]gov[dot]au).

The AER held a stakeholder forum on 12 April 2013 to discuss the AER's proposed approach to consulting on issues which fall within the Power of Choice work stream.
