The Energy Networks Association has strongly supported changes to national electricity rules which would support alternative options to manage peak demand, without building new infrastructure.

Energy Networks Association CEO John Bradley said today electricity networks support a level playing field for “non-network” solutions like demand management, to ensure all options are on the table to provide efficient, safe and reliable services to customers.

“The Network sector welcomed this recommendation in the 2012 Power of Choice report and it is unfinished business in the energy reform agenda,” Mr Bradley said.
