Energy Reform Implementation Group: The way forward for Australia (Final Report)

About the implementation group

The Energy Reform Implementation Group (ERIG) was a group established by the Council of Australian Governments (COAG) to review certain elements of the operation of Australia’s energy sector and to suggest further reforms, where there is a case for them, supporting more efficient energy markets.

ERIG was asked to recommend proposals for:

  • achieving a fully national transmission grid
  • measures that may be necessary to address structural issues affecting the ongoing competitiveness and efficiency of the electricity sector
  • measures that may be necessary to ensuring there are transparent and effective financial markets to support energy markets.

The implementation group was established on 10 February 2006.

About the report

In January 2007 ERIG released Final Report—Energy Reform: The way forward for Australia (see Main report in Related documents).

ERIG commissioned nine specialist studies to advise on the matters under consideration. A list of the consultants engaged and the reports received is available (see Supporting energy industry information in Related documents).
