On 18 September 2025, the Commission initiated consultation on four rule change requests submitted by Energy Consumers Australia (ECA) and the Justice and Equity Centre (JEC), jointly titled Gas Networks in Transition.
The rule change requests seek changes to the National Gas Rules (NGR) to ensure that the economic regulatory framework that applies to gas distribution networks supports the long-term interests of consumers in the context of the energy transition.
The AER provided a submission to the AEMC on 30 October 2025.
