Perth Energy has engaged in the WA electricity industry reform process since its inception. We established and chaired the Independent Power Advisory Group (IPAG), whose work and achievement has been well documented.
We were a key industry participant in the Electricity Reform Taskforce's (ERTF) process and were represented on the ERTF's Market Design and Electricity Code Working Groups. Prior to that, we were a foundation member of the Electricity Access Consultation Committee (EACC) and the Renewable Energy Access Working Group (REAWG) chaired by the Government, laying the groundwork for a revamp of the access rules governing sustainable energy.
With the establishment of the Electricity Reform Implementation Unit (ERIU) by the Government following the tabling of the ERTF Report in October 2002, Perth Energy became involved in most Expert Teams set up by ERIU to deal with various aspects of reform implementation.
We are continuing with this work today as a member of the Office of Energy chaired Industry Reference Group and the Independent Market Operator's Market Advisory Committee. We actively help communicate the workings of the WEM Rules to consumer groups through our membership of the CCI-WA Energy Reference Group, Climate Change Committee and other business organisations.
