Distribution

Responsibility for economic regulation of Victoria's electricity and gas distribution networks was formally transferred from the Essential Services Commission to the Australian Energy Regulator on 1 January 2009.

Electricity and gas distribution businesses operating in Victoria must still require a licence issued by the Essential Services Commission.

Information on some remaining codes and guidelines subject to Commission non-economic regulation is provided here.

Further information on electricity and gas distribution is available from the Australian Energy Regulator, at www.aer.gov.au .
