On 7 October 2025, we released a consultation paper seeking stakeholder views on the effectiveness and timing of our network performance reporting. We are asking for stakeholder feedback on the manner, form and content of our reports and seeking stakeholder views on whether the reports are providing relevant and useful information.

In addition, we are also seeking stakeholder views on our objectives and priorities for network performance reporting. This consultation, pursuant to the National Electricity Rules and National Gas Rules, is seeking stakeholder views to determine appropriate objectives and priorities to be addressed through the preparation of service provider performance reports.
