The AER exists to ensure consumers are better off now and in the future.
We work to ensure energy consumers have access to a reliable and secure market and that they pay no more than necessary for energy to their homes and businesses.
We do this by:
• setting the maximum amount of revenue that monopoly electricity networks and natural gas pipelines can earn from consumers
• monitoring network, wholesale and retail market performance and compliance with national energy legislation
• taking enforcement action when there is potential or actual harm to consumers
• setting the Default Market Offer which is a price cap on standing energy contracts
• providing a price comparison website, Energy Made Easy, so consumers can find the best energy contract for them.
