Gas deregistration

This page outlines the requirements for deregistering from a gas market. To register in a different energy market, please go to Energy Systems > Registration.

A registered gas participant can apply to AEMO to be deregistered from any registrable capacity. This process is referred to as revocation.

Clause 135AH of the National Gas Rules (NGR) outlines the requirements for the revocation of registration.

Deregistration does not affect any prior obligation or liability of the organisation under the NGR.

Termination letter

Existing participants seeking to deregister must apply to AEMO in writing to cease registration.

The application for deregistration should be on a formal letterhead and be signed by a duly authorised company officer. Generally, this officer would hold an executive management position such as Chief Executive Officer or Company Secretary.

For all applicants, the termination letter (letter) must include:

• The Registered Participant’s full name and ABN.
• Relevant participant ID(s).
• The gas market and capacity (or capacities) from which the Registered Participant wishes to deregister.
  
• The business reason(s) why the Registered Participant considers it is, or will be, no longer required to be registered in the relevant gas market.
  
• A preferred future date when the Registered Participant wishes to be deregistered or have an existing classification terminated. AEMO cannot guarantee this date but will seek to meet the time frame provided. (Auction Participants see below.)

For Auction Participants, please also include:

• The proposed termination date which must be at least 30 days after the date of the letter, however the termination of an Auction Agreement is not effective until:
  • all liability accrued under the Auction Agreement has been satisfied, and 
  • the Auction Participant has executed all documents reasonably required by AEMO to give effect to that termination.
• Confirmation whether an Auction Participant and requesting the termination of the Auction Agreement.
