Energy market fees and charges

AEMO is a not-for-profit organisation, operating on a cost-recovery basis.

At AEMO, we prioritise strong financial and program governance to ensure financial stability, stakeholder trust and a maintain a strong licence to operate. Our annual budget and fees consultation is one of the ways we provide transparency over our costs.

AEMO’s annual budget reflects our committed program to deliver on our core functions and responsibilities and our strategic priorities, outlined in the Strategic Corporate Plan. It is comprised of distinct financial segments, which are aligned with our sources of funding. The majority of AEMO’s financial segments are funded by fees paid by registered market participants, however, a growing portion of AEMO’s activities are directly funded by state and federal governments and via fee-for-service arrangements.
