Evoenergy – Letter to the AER – FTA cost pass through application – December 2025

On 15 August 2024, the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) made the Unlocking CER benefits through flexible trading rule change. This rule change introduced a number of incremental reforms intended to enable emerging and innovative CER products and services to be delivered and integrated into the National Electricity Market.

The AER has received a cost pass through application from Evoenergy seeking to recover costs expected to be incurred as a result of the rule change.

Evoenergy expects to incur $4.5 million (nominal) in incremental costs across 2025–26 and 2026–27 to undertake system and business process changes to its billing and market systems platform to implement flexible trading arrangements and comply with consequential updates to retail market and business-to-business procedures. Evoenergy has proposed an increased revenue allowance of approximately $1.5 million (nominal, smoothed) to commence recovery of these costs in 2026–27.
