Background
On 3 September 2020, the AER accepted an application from Skyview for an individual exemption to sell electricity through an embedded network site at 47 Horseshoe Bay Road, Bowen QLD 4805.
Submissions on Skyview's application closed on 1 October 2020. No submissions were received.
Variation of conditions 2023
On 5 May 2023 the AER proposed to vary the conditions of Skyview's retail exemption. Submissions from interested stakeholders on the variation closed 8 June 2023. No submissions were received.
On 4 September 2023 the AER varied Skyview's exemption conditions to include a new condition.
Proposed variation of conditions 2025
In August 2025, the AER released its revised Retail Exempt Selling Guideline (version 7), to include a family violence condition and a notification requirement condition. Retail exemption holders that sell energy to residential customers must now develop and implement a family violence policy. Additionally, retail exemption holders must comply with new notification requirements.
The AER intends to apply these conditions to relevant individual exemptions that were approved before August 2025.
