The Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water is asking for your feedback on what should be considered in the NSW Electrical and Gas Safety Review.

Energy safety is paramount to the wellbeing of NSW communities. A robust and adaptable regulatory framework is essential to maintaining this safety, particularly in the context of a rapidly evolving energy landscape.

The NSW Government announced it would review the electrical and gas safety framework in NSW in the Consumer Energy Strategy: Powering our People and Communities.

The Review will look at the effectiveness of the current regulatory framework, as well as the organisational and governance arrangements for ensuring safety in NSW. It will also consider whether the regulatory framework is keeping pace with the current energy transition and meets the changing needs of energy customers.

We'd like your feedback on whether the draft Terms of Reference captures what should be in scope for this Review. We are not seeking your feedback on the issues of the Review in this consultation. There will be an opportunity to provide feedback on this at a later date.
