On 20 April 2010, the Ministerial Council on Energy (MCE) directed the AEMC to conduct a review of the arrangements for the provision and utilisation of electricity transmission services in the National Electricity Market (NEM).

The review stems from the Commission's previous Review of Energy Market Frameworks in light of Climate Change Policies, in which it recommended that further work be undertaken in this area.  The Commission anticipates commencing the public consultation process for the review in due course.
