The Energy Security Board (ESB) is progressing a recommendation from its Post 2025 Market Design final advice to implement a T-3 Ministerial lever for the Retailer Reliability Obligation (RRO) for all regions in the National Electricity Market (NEM), as is currently in place in South Australia.

The RRO amendment is one element in the ESB’s broader reform programme addressing challenges of resource adequacy and ageing thermal generation retirement.

The proposed amendments are designed to deliver the following policy outcomes:

• provide a supporting policy lever to address reliability concerns in the NEM;
• implement a nationally consistent framework by extending the current legislative framework in South Australia to the other jurisdictions; and
• leverage the existing RRO framework which is well understood by market participants.

This webinar will provide an overview of the consultation paper for interested stakeholders.

Please note log-in details for the webinar will be circulated via email once registration is closed.
