AEMC's Strategic Plan

Our strategic direction

Why we do what we do

We work for Australia’s future productivity and living standards, by contributing to a decarbonising, affordable and reliable energy system for consumers

How we do it

We lead, collaborate, adapt and influence

What we do

We listen, make practical rule changes and provide expert advice in a rapidly changing world

A message from Anna and Benn

Never in its existence has the role of the Commission in being forward looking and thinking about the long term been as important as it is today.

Getting the settings right now for the future energy market opens up the potential for enormous benefits from cleaner, smarter, affordable and reliable energy.
