The National Energy Customer Framework (NECF) commenced on 1 July 2015 – the final stage in the transition to national regulation of energy markets in Queensland.
The National Energy Retail Law (Queensland) Bill 2014 was passed by the Queensland Parliament on 10 September 2014 (NERL). This law has shifted Queensland to a national framework that will regulate the sale and supply of energy (electricity and gas) to consumers from 1 July 2015.
A Strategic Advisory Committee will oversee and provide strategic direction on the implementation of WaterQ including regular reviews, while an industry-led innovation panel will also be assembled to foster practical solutions to the challenges facings Queensland’s water sector.
