The Energy Market Reform Working Group (EMRWG) was established by SCER to identify, consider and respond to priorities for energy market development by:
- implementing national energy market reform work programs;
- providing advice on obligations under the Australian Energy Market Agreement and related legislation;
- consulting with key stakeholders on related policy matters; and
- identifying strategic priorities for review in the energy sector.
EMRWG’s work plan focuses on delivering several of SCER’s Priority Issues of National Significance, including:
- promoting efficiency through the development of consistent national frameworks;
- promoting competition in retail and wholesale markets in gas and electricity;
- promoting efficient delivery of network services, including efficient investment and operation of gas and electricity network infrastructure;
- identifying changes to ensure market resilience and energy security; and
- addressing impediments to, and promoting the commercial adoption of, demand-side response in Australian markets.
