Changing out worn out gas appliances with #electric appliances in #Victoria could provide $17 bn in consumer savings to 2050, far outweighing the $3.5 bn unrecovered costs gas distribution network businesses could face ieefa.org/resources/mana…

To improve social licence for energy projects we need a higher minimum baseline for stakeholder engagement and a new office to champion and coordinate benefits from the energy transition returning to host communities. piac.asn.au/2023/10/06/sub…

The proposed rule change on community engagement does not go far enough. Transmission providers need to be forced to treat host communities, and consumers, as stakeholders whose licence to operate is needed for projects to go ahead. piac.asn.au/2023/09/28/sub…

The NSW Energy Saving Scheme (ESS) should align with other NSW energy strategies and help households on low incomes reduce their energy bills and emissions. It shouldn’t include gas connected appliances or have co-payments increased. piac.asn.au/2023/09/27/sub…

Flexible trading could improve the efficiency of the market and increase the benefits flowing from distributed energy to all consumers. But to capture these benefits, households and small businesses need to be included in the scheme. piac.asn.au/2023/09/14/sub…

The role hydrogen plays in Australia's decarbonisation must be based on merit, promote the interests of the Australian not involve extra risks and costs for energy consumers. piac.asn.au/2023/08/18/sub…

ACCC guidance on green claims is great, but guidance alone wont stop greenwashing. Stronger standards and enforcement are needed to protect consumers. piac.asn.au/2023/09/14/sub…

Strong pricing protection is crucial to addressing the disadvantages faced by people living in embedded networks. Better pricing can also help ensure embedded networks are only used to deliver real benefits for residents. piac.asn.au/2023/09/08/sub…

We all know homes need to get off gas to improve household energy affordability and act on emissions reduction. More evidence is showing getting off gas is crucial to improving household health, especially for children. switchedon.reneweconomy.com.au/content/health…

We need better, well-managed network data to integrate renewables and manage networks efficiently for consumers, and help ensure new market arrangements and consumer protections work for all consumers. piac.asn.au/2023/09/01/sub…

Triggers to reopen transmission investment tests help protect consumers from cost blowouts. The AER can't rely on businesses and should be doing more to ensure there are more robust tests and stronger enforcement. piac.asn.au/2023/09/08/sub…

We understand how much people are prepared to pay to avoid blackouts, it's not a blank cheque. Extending the interim reliability measure ignores this and lumps people with huge costs to pay for problems we don't have. piac.asn.au/2023/08/24/sub…

We don't need Eraring beyond 2025. With a tight NSW budget, we should focus on measures that support the energy system transition, maintain a reliable system, and reduce energy costs for people struggling with the cost of living. piac.asn.au/2023/08/28/era…

How gas pipelines are regulated has big implications for how much risk and cost consumers will carry as we electrify, and how people who can't get off gas are protected while we transition. piac.asn.au/2023/08/02/sub…
