The flexible trading arrangement (FTA) rule change, proposed by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO), has been positioned as a way consumers can access more value from their CER, by incentivising flexible demand that can support the operation of the system, while not needing to change their behaviour for their everyday electricity use.
Energy Consumers Australia encourages the Australian Energy Market Commission to reject the rule change and ensure AEMO fees are subject to the same scrutiny as other network costs.

The National Electric Vehicle Strategy has an important role in enabling a nationally comprehensive policy that allows all Australians to access the benefits of EVs, for both mobility and supporting the transition to a lower carbon electricity industry.
This research was undertaken to get a better understanding of the ‘state of play’ of current, new and forthcoming retail prices and network tariffs
