On 15 August 2024, the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) made the Unlocking CER benefits through flexible trading rule change. This rule change introduced a number of incremental reforms intended to enable emerging and innovative CER products and services to be delivered and integrated into the National Electricity Market.
The AER has received a cost pass through application from Evoenergy seeking to recover costs expected to be incurred as a result of the rule change, largely to upgrade relevant IT systems and operational processes.
On 30 April 2026, the AER published its determination approving a positive pass through amount of $1.51 million to be recovered over the remaining years of the regulatory control period (2026–27, 2027–28, and 2028–29). Details of the AER’s assessment against the relevant factors in the NER are set out in our decision document.
