Nexa Advisory welcomes the opportunity to contribute to DCCEEW’s Reforms to the Default Market Offer (DMO) Consultation Paper.
We broadly support the scope of the Review, which is long overdue. This submission draws on Nexa Advisory’s extensive work in energy market reform and highlights critical structural issues in electricity pricing that impact consumer outcomes, competition and innovation. Our submission focuses on:
- the need for an efficient pricing framework for the DMO;
- addressing monopoly power and competitive neutrality;
- reforming the DMO Objectives and Tariff Structure so they remain fit for a two‑way, high‑CER system; and
- the importance of enabling innovation and consumer-centric services.
Enabling retail competition and innovation is key for customer engagement – and will lead to lower retail bills for households and businesses.
