IPART has commenced work on our NSW retail electricity and gas markets monitoring reports for 2024-25.
Each year, we monitor and report on prices, competitive dynamics and the participation of households and small businesses in the NSW retail energy markets. The matters we must report on are specified in the National Energy Retail Law (NSW) 2012.
This year, we will also report on:
- new energy products and services, including virtual power plants and demand response programs
- the estimated annual bills for the range of retail electricity pricing structures, including flat rate, time of use and demand tariffs.
We have published a Consultation Paper for our Energy Market Monitoring Reports. We want to hear views from a range of stakeholders including households, small businesses, consumer groups, industry associations, retailers and distribution networks on:
- our approach to energy market monitoring
- the experience of consumers who are using new energy products and services, including virtual power plants and demand response programs, and whether they have sufficient information to make decisions about these new offerings
- whether there are emerging issues we should explore in our Energy Market Monitoring Reports.
Stakeholder can make a submission to our Consultation Paper until 22 August 2025.
IPART will submit its Energy Market Monitoring Reports to the Minister for Energy in November.
