The governing legislation and regulatory environment in which REMCo operates are described as follows.
Among the main pieces of legislation that currently govern gas distribution and retail sales in Western Australia are:
 |
 |
National Gas Access (WA) Act 2009; |
|
Energy Coordination Act 1994; and |
|
Gas Standards Act 1972. |
Changes to the Energy Coordination Act 1994 to facilitate gas full retail contestability were promulgated in August 2003 through the Energy Legislation Amendments Act 2003.
The Economic Regulation Authority is responsible for the economic regulation of the Western Australian gas market, which includes regulation of the REMCo Scheme, which covers all of WA Gas Networks' distribution systems.
