Under clause 2.3.2 of the Electricity System and Market (ESM) Rules, the Coordinator of Energy (the Coordinator) is required to develop and publish a constitution for the Market Advisory Committee (MAC).  

Following the Coordinator’s review of the MAC (the Review) under clause 2.2D.1(h) of the ESM Rules, the Coordinator completed a review of the MAC Constitution in consultation with the MAC in accordance with clause 2.3.3 of the ESM Rules.

Under clause 2.3.4 of the ESM Rules, the Coordinator must invite public submissions when developing or amending the MAC Constitution.

Stakeholder consultation on the changes to the MAC Constitution closed on 22 December 2025. Submissions received and EPWA’s response to these are available below.

The ESM Amending Rules to implement the outcomes of the Review were included in the Electricity System and Market Amendment (Tranche 9) Rules 2025. They were made by the Minister for Energy on 19 December 2025; a notice of their making was published in the Government Gazette on 23 December 2025 and were commenced on 1 January 2026.
