AGL Response to Real-time Data for Consumers Draft Decision

AGL is a strong advocate for the need to empower and educate consumers on how to access, understand and utilise their energy data to optimise their consumption profile, shift behaviours and take advantage of variable pricing structures and demand-response programs. Informed and engaged consumers are critical to the success of the energy transition.

AGL recognises the AEMC has made meaningful changes through its consultation process to reduce costs for all energy users and supports features of the AEMC’s draft determination. Even with these improvements, there is a strong risk of over-investment in a metering solution with limited customer uptake. Some of the costs of delivering this Rule change could be reduced by ensuring the final determination does not over-specify how retailers and metering coordinators must meet their RTD obligations.
