The AEMC makes rules under the National Electricity Law, the National Gas Law and the National Energy Retail Law. These rules impact on how companies can operate and participate in the competitive generation and retail sectors. They also govern the economic regulation of electricity transmission and distribution network services and gas pipelines. We do not initiate rule change requests other than where the proposal is to correct minor errors or is non-material. Instead, our role is to manage the rule change process and to consult and decide on rule change requests made by others. We do this in accordance with processes set out in the law.
