Update
Back to topOn 27 October 2020, the National Energy Legislation Amendment Act 2020 (Vic) (NELA Act) was enacted to change the timing of the annual Victorian electricity and gas regulatory years.
The NELA Act amends the National Electricity (Victoria) Act 2005 (NEVA) and the National Gas (Victoria) Act 2008 (NGVA) to extend the current regulatory periods for the Victorian electricity and gas distribution businesses by six months. The next access arrangement period is expected to commence on 1 July 2023. These changes exclude Victorian gas transmission networks.
