Gas-Electricity Meter Data Linking Project

AEMO has prepared this report for the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment, and Water (DCCEEW). It provides a comprehensive analysis of gas and electricity consumption patterns for 3 million residential and small commercial customers across Victoria, New South Wales, South Australia, the Australian Capital Territory and Queensland.

For the first time, this analysis links gas and electricity datasets at the customer level by combining gas Meter Identification Registration Numbers (MIRNs) and electricity National Metering Identifiers (NMIs). This consolidated dataset bridges critical gaps in understanding the interplay between gas and electricity use, enabling a more holistic view of household energy consumption.

This analysis includes an assessment of the impacts of electrification on household gas and electricity consumption profiles, highlights key trends in the transition from gas to electricity, and explores the socioeconomic and geographic factors influencing electrification rates.

The analysis aims to support evidence-based policy decisions, contribute to electrification forecasts, and inform planning for future gas and electricity infrastructure. The project has been undertaken as part of the Regional and Cross-sectoral Demand Transition workstream under the National Energy Transformation Partnership.
