Energy Policy WA has published an Information Paper outlining proposed changes to the Electricity Industry (Pilbara Networks) Regulations 2021 (Pilbara Regulations), Gas Services Information (GSI) Regulations 2012 (GSI Regulations) and Electricity Industry (Electricity System and Market) Regulations 2004 (ESM Regulations).
The proposed changes include:

- new civil penalty provisions in the ESM Regulations; and
- amendments to the immunity provisions in the ESM Regulations so that delegates of AEMO are covered by limited liability, up to the prescribed amount.
