Guidelines, schemes, models and reviews

Retailer reliability obligation - Opt-in guideline

Energy Made Easy is the Australian government’s primary tool to provide reliable and trusted information on a range of comparable energy offers to customers.

The default market offer (DMO) came into effect on 1 July 2019. The DMO is a new rule that limits the price that retailers can charge electricity customers on default contracts, known as standing offer contracts. The AER’s role is to determine the maximum price that a retailer can charge a standing offer customer each year.

The AER has conducted a review of facility operator compliance with the rules relating to standard Operational Transportation Service Agreements (OTSAs).
