The AER is reviewing its Rebidding and Technical Parameters Guideline (Guideline) in response to the Australian Energy Market Commission’s December 2024 integrating price-responsive resources into the NEM rule change (IPRR rule change).
The AER is required to review, and where necessary or desirable, amend the Guideline to take into account the IPRR rule change by 30 September 2026. We are also using this review as an opportunity to update the Guideline to address the evolving energy market, and canvas views around utilisation of artificial intelligence.
The Guideline outlines the detail that must be contained in a rebid reason submitted to the Australian Energy Market Operator and our process for requesting additional information to verify the rebid reasons. In addition, it covers several related areas associated with the bidding and rebidding of technical parameters.
Interested parties are invited to make written submissions on the consultation paper in writing by email to AERCompliance
aer [dot] gov [dot] au (AERCompliance[at]aer[dot]gov[dot]au) by close of business 31 March 2026.
