In its Post 2025 Market Design Review, the Energy Security Board recommended a congestion management model with REZ adaptations – the Congestion Management Model or CMM. The ESB subsequently established a process to work collaboratively with stakeholders to find solutions to the challenge of transmission access. As part of this process, the ESB published a project initiation document which gave stakeholders the opportunity to put forward alternative models.
The ESB received a strong response to its project initiation document. Submissions to the project initiation document can be found here. The purpose of the upcoming seminar is to give stakeholders the opportunity to explore the features of the various alternative models put forward by stakeholders. The session will inform the evaluation of the alternative models, or elements of these alternative models.
This session will be a collaborative event led by the ESB’s appointed Independent Facilitator. To promote well informed discussion, stakeholders are invited to submit questions on the various models to info@esb.org.au by 17 February. Submitted questions will be provided to model proponents prior to the event.
A link to the forum and preparatory materials will be provided to registered stakeholders closer to the event date.

The AEMC has recently released a consultation paper for our review into extending the regulatory frameworks to hydrogen and renewable gases.
The review is to develop initial rules for the National Gas Rules (NGR) and the National Energy Retail Rules (NERR) to extend the regulatory frameworks to include low-level hydrogen blends and renewable gases.
Submissions to this consultation paper are due on Thursday 2 December.
As part of our consultation for this review, the AEMC will host three virtual stakeholder workshops in mid-December to discuss issues arising from the AEMC’s preliminary work as well as from submissions.
This forum will focus on issues related to:

In its Post 2025 Market Design Review, the Energy Security Board recommended a congestion management model with REZ adaptations (or CMM). National Cabinet subsequently instructed the ESB to progress detailed design work on the CMM and to bring back a proposed rule change to Energy Ministers by the end of 2022.
Ministers have advised the ESB that the design process should include a comprehensive consultation process and should take into consideration value for money, providing locational signals, and ensuring sufficient flexibility for jurisdictional differences.
The Energy Security Board will be holding a virtual public forum to provide stakeholders with more clarity about the approach and process that we intend to use to give effect to National Cabinet's decision on transmission access reform. At this forum we will:

The AEMC and AEMO are hosting a virtual public webinar for all interested stakeholders.
The purpose of the webinar is to provide an overview of the rule change request, the approach to the rule change process and to allow stakeholders to ask questions to the AEMC and AEMO.
The dial in details will be circulated Monday morning.
The Australian Energy Market Commission will be holding a virtual public forum to discuss our proposals to better integrate distributed energy resources - like household solar and batteries - into the power system. The reforms are designed to connect more solar for more homes and businesses, pave the way for batteries and spread solar benefits across the network so there’s more sun for everyone.
These proposals have come about following rule change requests from community groups (Total Environment Centre, Australian Council of Social Services, St Vincent de Paul Society of Victoria) and SA Power Networks.
They follow extended collaboration with other organisations through the Distributed Energy Integration Program, led by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) on how to adapt the energy grid to make the most of new energy technology while keeping the system secure and keeping costs down for consumers across the board.
