Watt’s up: Regulatory round-up – July 2025
Currently the DMO sets a price cap on how much energy retailers can charge households and small businesses on standing offer contracts in NSW, South Australia and south-east Queensland. It also acts as a reference price so customers can easily compare different electricity plans.
On 18 June 2025, the Australian Government announced it was reforming the DMO. The reformed DMO will:
- Still act as the maximum price retailers can charge customers on standing offers.
- Make sure those customers pay a fair and efficient price that only compensates retailers for the costs of supplying electricity.
- Move closer in line with other areas like Victoria.
- Help to set up the energy market to better reflect Australia's changing energy grid.
