AEMO manages the day-to-day operations of a number of electricity and gas markets and information services, as well as providing strategic forecasting and planning advice.
AEMO has strategic partnerships with institutions and energy brands across Australia and globally, including the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and CSIRO.
In addition to regular consultations, AEMO runs regular working groups and forums that allow energy stakeholders to discuss issues and share information.
The Library captures procedures, guides and major reports that live elsewhere on the site.
Australia’s energy system has a governance structure that includes AEMO, the Australian Energy Regulator (AER), the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC), the Energy Security Board (ESB) and the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Energy Council.
AEMO is an independent organisation that operates on a user-pays cost-recovery basis, with all operating costs recovered through fees paid by industry participants. Our ownership is shared between government and industry.
AEMO’s major programs are often complex, lengthy, broad in scope and/or require extensive stakeholder engagement. They typically implement key changes to the energy markets, or address major challenges facing the energy industry and, as a result, play an important role in shaping Australia’s energy system.
At this point in time, programs relating to the National Electricity Market (NEM) include the Distributed Energy Resources program, the Five-Minute Settlement program and Global Settlement, Cyber Security, and the Victoria Regulatory Investment Tests for Transmission.
Wholesale Electricity Market (WEM) programs include the WEM Market Reform program, as well as Cyber Security.
Gas markets will be included in the system-wide Cyber Security program.
