The Australian Energy Market Commission has made a draft rule that would require newly connecting gas customers to pay the cost of their connection upfront. This is intended to address connection risks associated with the projected decline of residential and commercial gas demand. We supported a joint response with EWON and EWOSA supporting the full cost recovery of new connections to avoid cross subsidies and the risk of higher prices for remaining customers as connected customers diminish.
