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.
Australia is in the midst of significant change in the way that we generate, use and store energy for our homes and businesses. We are seeing recent closures of large coal generators in Victoria and South Australia. These big powerful machines have simply come to the end of their useful lives and will be replaced by more flexible modern generation. This short video explores some of the important work AEMO is doing in this space with the Australian Renewable Energy Agency, ARENA.
