The Energy Advisory Panel (EAP) charter establishes a coordination forum comprising heads of the Australian Energy Market Commission, Australian Energy Market Operator, Australian Energy Regulator, and the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (observer). The EAP aims to facilitate inter-agency cooperation to promote stability of Australia's east coast energy system during the transition to lower emissions while ensuring effective regulation and consumer outcomes. The panel provides early advice on emerging energy market developments and policy/regulatory reforms, serves as a sounding board for Energy Ministers through the National Energy Transformation Partnership, and coordinates information sharing between member agencies. The EAP operates under the National Electricity, Gas, and Energy Retail Objectives, balancing reliable, secure, and affordable energy systems with emissions reduction goals.
