Australian Energy Regulator (AER)

The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) is an independent government agency responsible for overseeing and regulating electricity and gas markets in Australia. Its main role is to ensure that energy companies operate fairly, provide reliable service, and set reasonable prices for consumers. The AER monitors compliance, approves network prices, and promotes competition and efficient energy use. By doing so, it protects consumers' interests while supporting a stable and sustainable energy system across the country.
