Electricity and gas licences, exemptions and trial waivers

We review and make decisions on applications for electricity and gas licences. We can also transfer, vary or revoke licences.

Some people or businesses who sell or supply electricity are exempt from our electricity licensing requirements. These people may need to register their exemption with us.

Some people or businesses who distribute gas within embedded networks may be exempt from gas licensing requirements. These people may need to report their activities to us.
