The New Reg Newsletter is jointly produced by the AER, Energy Consumers Australia (ECA) and Energy Networks Australia (ENA) and provides the latest news on the current stage of the trial and its timelines.

We have engaged Farrierswier to monitor AusNet's trial of the New Reg process.

We have engaged CEPA to evaluate AusNet's trial of the New Reg process. We will publish CEPA's evaluation framework, insights reports and evaluation reports.

We have established a Reference Group to discuss and collect feedback on the New Reg project. Please email: regulatoryinnovationaer [dot] gov [dot] au (regulatoryinnovation[at]aer[dot]gov[dot]au) if you would like to be involved.

On 13 June 2019 the AER, ECA and ENA hosted a public forum to present the Monitoring (Farrierswier) and Insights (CEPA) consultant reports from the second phase of AusNet’s Trial of the New Reg Process. The presentations are provided below.

On 25 June 2020 we hosted a stakeholder workshop where we presented the Monitoring (Farrierswier) and Insights (CEPA) consultant reports from the third phase of AusNet's Trial. During the workshop, we also intend to discuss the challenges of the trial, as well as through other developments in consumer engagement, in relation to the current regulatory framework. The workshop was held online via WebEx.

The AER, ECA and ENA hosted a joint, online forum on CEPA’s evaluation of the New Reg trial on Monday 16 August 2021. At this forum CEPA presented their findings and we  reflected on how the trial may inform future reset processes.
