In response to the Stage 1 finding that competition in the ACT electricity retail market was not effective, the AEMC has published its Stage 2 Final Report outlining its recommendations to promote competition in the ACT electricity retail market.

The recommendations consist of a package of policy measures to address the issues identified during the Stage 1 analysis, which the AEMC considers will help to promote competition.

In conjunction with those measures to foster customer awareness and improve harmonisation of regulatory obligations, the AEMC considers that the removal of the transitional regulated retail price and its replacement by a monitoring program would better facilitate increased competitive pressure in the ACT market.
