Official LinkedIn of the Australian Energy Regulator. 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. We welcome comments and discussion on our social media channels but ask that you treat us and others with courtesy and respect and keep contributions relevant to a public forum.
