On 10 October 2024, the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) released a consultation paper on a rule change request submitted by Energy Consumers Australia.
The rule change request recommends changes to improve access to real-time data for consumers and their authorised representatives and is consistent with the AEMC’s recommendations from the Review of the regulatory framework for metering services.
The consultation paper seeks stakeholder feedback on the potential costs and benefits of improving access to real-time data from smart meters, and potential implementation considerations to improve access, in response to the rule change request.
The AER made a submission to the consultation paper on 2 December 2024.
