Electricity Customer Metering Code of Practice
Pending code changes
We are reviewing the Electricity Customer Metering Code of Practice. Electricity customer metering is regulated through the National Electricity Rules, and procedures administered by the Australian Energy Market Operator. We are considering whether the Electricity Customer Metering Code of Practice remains fit-for-purpose. We expect to publish a final decision in August 2025.
