Revoking the Electricity System Code

Overview

Following a review, the Electricity System Code was revoked on 31 May 2024 to streamline obligations and reduce complexity of Victoria’s energy regulatory framework.

The Electricity System Code was a regulatory instrument established in 2000 that contained obligations for Victorian electricity transmission and distribution businesses. The review found the code's obligations overlapped significantly with the National Electricity Rules and the National Electricity Law.
