Navigation for Ministerial Council on Energy
About the Ministerial Council on Energy: The Ministerial Council on Energy is the national policy and governance body for the Australian Energy Market, responsible for delivering the economic and environmental benefits for Australia resulting from implementation of the Council of Australian Governments national energy policy framework.

The Council of Australian Governments' (COAG) Standing Council on Energy and Resources (SCER) has formally commenced and will carry on key reform elements of the Ministerial Council on Mineral and Petroleum Resources and the Ministerial Council on Energy.

The standing council will:

  • progress consistent upstream petroleum administration and regulation standards
  • address issues affecting investment in resources exploration and development
  • develop a nationally consistent approach to clean-energy technology
  • promote efficiency and investment in generation and networks
  • build on Australia's resilience to energy-supply shocks.

With the commencement of the SCER, the remits of the Ministerial Council on Mineral and Petroleum Resources and the Ministerial Council on Energy have been withdrawn.
