Submission in Response to Queensland Treasury’s Review of the National Energy Retail Law (Queensland) Regulation 2014 – Discussion Paper

Abstract

This submission was made to Queensland Treasury’s Review of the National Energy Retail Law (Queensland) Regulations in June 2025. The regulations apply or modify how the National Energy Customer Framework operates in Queensland and the purpose of the review was to ensure that the regulations remain relevant and effective. This submission, made jointly with the First Nations Clean Energy Network, advocates for regulatory reforms that would enable public retail performance reporting for card-operated meter households (i.e. the local name for prepayment meters). It highlights the need for public reporting to align with policy commitments including the First Nations Clean Energy Strategy and National Agreement on Closing the Gap. Show more
