The final rule change was initiated by the AEMC to correct minor errors and make non-material changes to the National Electricity Rules (NER) to improve their quality. As with previous AEMC initiated rules, these minor corrections and non-material changes make the rules clearer to stakeholders.

In particular, the final rule sought to:

• correct minor formatting and typographical errors, including punctuation, numbering levels, indentation and italicisation;  
• ensure consistency of references to provisions throughout the NER;
• correct minor errors in cross-references; 
• remove duplication; and
• correct minor drafting errors in amending rules to reflect the policy positions set out in the relevant final determinations made by the Commission.

Submissions to the rule change proposal closed on 30 October 2025.

The Commission received no objections to the expedited rule-making process. The Commission received one submission on the rule change request from Queensland Treasury. This submission contained a recommendation for an additional minor change to the rules and no objection to the rule change proposal. This additional minor change raised in the submission is discussed and responded to in the final rule determination.
