Energy regulation has traditionally determined the fuel sources and the market structures used to generate energy, the products and services available to consumers, who can access energy and how much it costs. 

This paper explores how the energy transition, emerging energy technologies, products, and services, and changing societal expectations are challenging the market structures and competitive market model of regulation for the NSW electricity sector operating within the National Electricity Market. The rise of modern energy regulatory principles most likely to affect NSW is examined to understand the role they may play in resolving the looming challenges facing the sector.
