Gas Network Innovation Scheme (GNIS) - Joint Engagement
Between September 2020 and November 2021 AGIG, Jemena Gas Networks and AusNet Services undertook joint engagement on a Gas Network Innovation Scheme (GNIS). The engagement involved two phases and was supported by KPMG and a stakeholder reference group which included the other gas distribution businesses, the AER, Energy Networks Australia and Energy Consumers Australia.
In Phase 1 we found two-thirds of customers and their representatives were supportive of proceeding to Phase 2, to co-design a GNIS. Retailers were the least supportive cohort of stakeholders, taking overall support to 50%.
In Phase 2, we co-designed a potential scheme and distributed a draft GNIS framework for consultation. Most feedback we received expressed comfort with the draft framework, however, retailers, continue not to support the introduction of a GNIS.
