On 17 April 2020 the AEMC received a rule change request from the Minister for Energy and Emissions Reduction, the Hon Angus Taylor MP, to amend the National Energy Retail Rules.
The rule change proposal seeks to simplify energy bills, so households and small business owners can better understand and manage their bills, and find a better energy deal.
On 24 September 2020 the Commission published a consultation paper for the rule change request. The AER provided a submission to the AEMC on this consultation paper on 22 October 2020.
