The Australian Energy Regulator is a government agency responsible for overseeing Australia’s energy markets, based in Melbourne, Victoria. Its core mandate is to safeguard energy consumers by promoting a reliable, secure market and ensuring prices paid by homes and businesses are not excessive, while regulating revenues for monopoly networks and pipelines, monitoring market performance, and enforcing compliance with national energy legislation. It sets the Default Market Offer, establishing a price cap on standing energy contracts, and provides consumer tools such as Energy Made Easy to compare contracts. The regulator serves energy consumers as its primary audience and acts to maintain fair access and predictable market conditions across networks, wholesale, and retail segments. In 2025, it expanded international cooperation with a memorandum of understanding signed with Singapore's Energy Market Authority.
