The administrator of the retail market scheme is the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).
The ERA’s role with respect to the Gas Retail Market Scheme includes:
- Approving amendments to the Scheme, including the Market Rules (comprising the procedures, the specification pack, and the FRC Hub operational terms and conditions).
- Investigating any non-compliance with the Market Rules that AEMO refers to the ERA.
