Regulatory advice
Reform Matters provides tailored advice on energy regulatory issues to organisations looking to make informed decisions in a dynamic environment. Our team have worked for energy market bodies, industry stakeholders and consumer advocates on regulatory issues spanning the electricity and gas supply chains.
Both existing and new market participants must navigate a large suite of constantly changing rules and regulations to ensure they are operating in compliance with national and state-based energy laws. As new technologies and business models evolve, existing rules and regulations may not be fit for purpose and so may need to be amended to enable new services to be introduced that benefit consumers.
