Guidance on amended National Energy Objectives

The Statutes Amendment (National Energy Laws) (Emissions Reduction Objectives) Act 2023 (SA) (Act) gives government and regulatory entities (including AEMO) the discretion to apply the amended objectives to matters that are in progress on the start day (2 months after the commencement of the Act). If a government or regulatory entity proposes to exercise this discretion, the government or regulatory entity must use its best endeavours to ensure that within 45 days after the commencement of the Act, it issues administrative guidance about the matters the entity is likely to have regard to in deciding whether to apply the amended objective.

In accordance with the Act, AEMO’s guidance is set out in the document below.
