The AEMC actively engages with international energy market bodies that co-operate on global issues affecting energy markets.

International engagement enables us to gain from the experience of others and also provides a forum to share insights drawn from the high quality analytical work undertaken by Australia’s own energy market institutions.

International Confederation of Energy Regulators (ICER)

The AEMC is a member of the International Confederation of Energy Regulators (ICER) – an international body whose membership includes more than 200 regulatory authorities around the world. ICER’s is to improve public and policy-maker awareness and understanding of energy regulation and its role in addressing a wide spectrum of socio-economic, environmental and market issues. Through ICER, regulators exchange information about good practices in energy regulation.

Regulatory Energy Transition Accelerator

The Regulatory Energy Transition Accelerator aims to enhance the capacity of regulators to increase the speed of the clean energy transitions. RETA works directly with energy regulators to facilitate knowledge sharing, peer to peer learning and thought leadership on regulatory issues. It acts as well as a central resource for regulators seeking to regulate for the sustainable, affordable and secure energy systems of the future. The Accelerator was launched in 2021 at COP26 by Ofgem, IEA, IRENA, the World Bank, RMI, Energy Innovation and RAP along with regulators from around the world as part of the Green Grids Initiative.
