The National Electricity Rules govern the operation of the National Electricity Market. The Rules have the force of law, and are made under the National Electricity Law.
Copies of the National Electricity Rules are available for inspection at the AEMC's office in Sydney. The National Electricity Law can be found at the South Australian Legislation website.
The current consolidated version of the Rules is Version 123, incorporating:
• National Electricity Amendment (Meter installation – advanced meter communications) Rule 2019 No. 1
• Schedules 1, 3, 4 and 5 of the National Electricity Amendment (Retailer Reliability Obligation) Rule 2019
You can find more information about the electricity rules including historical rules and rules that apply to the Northern Territory on the National Electricity Rules page.
Please note – the full PDF document of the National Electricity Rules version 123 does not include Chapter 4A. Chapter 4A is currently being consolidated into the full PDF and we will upload it as soon as possible. However, Chapter 4A is currently available as a standalone PDF.
