In August 2021, Energy Ministers tasked the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) with a review of the National Gas Rules (NGR) and National Energy Retail Rules (NERR) to develop initial rules that will extend the regulatory frameworks to include low-level hydrogen blends and renewable gases.
On 21 October 2021, the AEMC published a consultation paper seeking views on extending the regulatory frameworks to hydrogen and renewable gas blends.
The AER made a submission to this consultation on 2 December 2021.
More information on the review into extending the regulatory frameworks to hydrogen and renewable gases can be found on the AEMC website.
