AER - Issues paper - Default market offer 2026–27 - 5 November 2025

On 5 November 2025 we published the issues paper for the 2026–27 DMO determination (DMO 8).

The issues paper seeks stakeholder feedback on how to best adapt our approach to suit the changes to the DMO framework and meet the new policy objective. The AER is also considering some changes in its approach to setting DMO 8 tariffs and prices to ensure it responds to market developments.

Stakeholder engagement is a valuable input to our determination process. The AER will also engage with stakeholders through workshops and bilateral meetings during the consultation period.
