AEMC Chief Executive, Steven Graham, announces the launch date for the new AEMC website – 1 June 2009. The new website gives our stakeholders complete and immediate access to AEMC Rules, advice and all our supporting documents, Steven said today.   “It has been designed to provide better and more accessible information to everyone who is interested in the development of Australia’s electricity and natural gas markets and Rules.

Steven also foreshadowed another round of improvements to the presentation of the National Electricity Rules and the National Gas Rules which will take place before the end of 2009.

“The 1 June launch of the new information architecture for www.aemc.gov.au will give visitors to our site better organised, and more detailed, information on AEMC Rules, advice, and all supporting documents,” Mr Graham said.

“The rebuild is based on our conversations with stakeholders and addresses their priorities,” he said.

“The website is now searchable – making it easier to analyse our decisions and reports.

“It features a range of new services including online lodgement for Rule change proposals and submissions.

“New navigation and page layouts will help you access information quickly. Specific rule changes and market review pages will have a consistent format, making it easier to track the course of our public consultations. They will provide “snapshot” information for easy reference along with detailed project histories,” Mr Graham said.

“Each rule change proposal and market review will display a unique project code to distinguish between projects with similar titles and to ensure that your submissions are clearly related to the correct project.

“The new website will improve your access to our core functions and I hope it will help everyone who takes part in our consultations,” Mr Graham said.
