Energy Policy WA is proposing amendments to energy legislation to improve the operation and administration of electricity and gas licensing arrangements.
The proposed legislative amendments outlined in the Information Paper aim to reduce compliance costs and regulatory burden for licensees while retaining customer protections.
The amendments will also improve consistency between the electricity and gas licensing regulatory frameworks and assist in streamlining the Economic Regulation Authority’s administration processes related to the energy licensing schemes.
The Information Paper also outlines proposed amendments to remove voltage and frequency limits from the Electricity Act 1945 and place them into the proposed Energy Rules – Western Australia (ER-WA).
