Electricity and gas codes, guidelines and policies

Access resources that impose regulatory obligations on Victorian electricity and gas businesses

The Essential Services Commission establishes and maintains codes and guidelines that outline the rules for the distribution and retail sale of electricity and gas in Victoria.

Some of our codes and guidelines apply to both the electricity and gas industries, while others only apply to one. You can view the current codes or previous amendments by clicking on the blue tiles below.

You can also read the /LINK market performance and reporting page on this website to see how well regulated businesses comply with these codes and guidelines.
