AEMO manages the day-to-day operations of a number of electricity and gas markets and information services, as well as providing strategic forecasting and planning advice.
AEMO has strategic partnerships with institutions and energy brands across Australia and globally, including the Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) and CSIRO.
In addition to regular consultations, AEMO runs regular working groups and forums that allow energy stakeholders to discuss issues and share information.
The Library captures procedures, guides and major reports that live elsewhere on the site.
Australia’s energy system has a governance structure that includes AEMO, the Australian Energy Regulator (AER), the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC), the Energy Security Board (ESB) and the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) Energy Council.
AEMO is an independent organisation that operates on a user-pays cost-recovery basis, with all operating costs recovered through fees paid by industry participants. Our ownership is shared between government and industry.
The National Electricity Market (NEM) consists of both a wholesale market, which allows participants to buy and sell electricity, and a retail market, which allows consumers to choose the retailer from which they purchase their electricity. AEMO is responsible for operating the wholesale and retail markets.
This section covers both the wholesale and retail markets, and includes the functions, procedures and processes that support the effective operation of the markets.
