Abstract

This chapter explores the rapidly changing electricity sector governance in Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM). In the coming years, Australia’s electricity sector faces major transformational change from the twin challenges of securing affordable electricity supply whilst simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas emissions. While the system is becoming more decentralised and governance becomes increasingly ineffective, this situation is compounded by the marketisation and agencification, i.e. the transfer of responsibility to statutory bodies. The chapter discusses the impact of recent changes in the sector on governance and identifies areas where coherent and adaptive governance reforms were implemented successfully, and other areas where inertia and rigidity are the norm. Changes to the sector’s governance are proposed to ensure significant increase in the utilisation of renewable energy sources.
