The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) works to make energy consumers better off, now

and in the future. We focus on ensuring a secure, reliable and affordable energy future for

Australia as it transitions to net zero emissions.

We regulate electricity networks and covered gas pipelines, in all jurisdictions except

Western Australia. We set the amount of revenue that network businesses can recover from

customers for using these networks.
