The new Electricity Corporations (South West Interconnected System Prescribed Customers) Order 2023 has been made by the Minister for Energy and took legal effect with publication in the Government Gazette on 9 May 2023.
The Order has been made to preserve the current State Government policy position on electricity retail contestability in the SWIS, given the increasing prevalence of bidirectional electricity services. This includes that residential electricity customers within the SWIS are restricted to Synergy as their electricity retailer.
An Information Paper has been prepared by Energy Policy WA to provide background on the new Order and further information on the intended application of the State Government policy position on electricity retail contestability in the SWIS.
