Ergon Energy’s application for a waiver from clauses 3.1(b) and 4.2 of the Ring-fencing guideline (Electricity distribution) (May 2025)
Our submission to the Australian Energy Regulator sets out the range of reasons why Ergon Energy’s application for a waiver should not be granted, and certainly not without an expiry date.
As the Australian Energy Regulator notes: This waiver would allow Ergon Energy to continue providing distribution and generation services in non-NEM connected isolated communities, in remote areas of Queensland. These services are provided by 33 isolated power stations, currently predominantly diesel-fired, which support 39 communities. Ergon Energy also has 35 stand-alone networks that provide distribution services for isolated communities. Ergon Energy has provided a complete list of isolated networks in its application.

The Network considers Ergon Energy’s waiver application should not be granted at this time by the Australian Energy Regulator, because the waiver fails to demonstrate how it could meaningfully and materially reduce current widespread experiences of energy insecurity for households and communities in the target region.
