National Electricity Law

The National Electricity Law (NEL) sets the rules for how electricity is generated, transmitted, and supplied across Australian states and territories. It aims to ensure a reliable, efficient, and fair electricity market by coordinating policies, regulating network access, and promoting competition. Managed by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER), the NEL helps prevent disputes, promotes transparency, and supports the integration of renewable energy, ultimately ensuring consumers receive safe and affordable electricity services across the country.
