No. 113/2025 were made on 28 October 2025 by the Governor in Council under section 12A of the **National Electricity (Victoria) Act 2005**, No. 8/2005 and came into operation on 1 November 2025: regulation 3.\n\nThe National Electricity (Victoria) (VicGrid) Regulations 2025 will sunset 10 years after the day of making on 28 October 2035 (see section 5 of the **Subordinate Legislation Act 1994**).\n\nINTERPRETATION OF LEGISLATION ACT 1984 (ILA)\n\nStyle changes\n\nSection 54A of the ILA authorises the making of the style changes set out in Schedule 1 to that Act.\n\nReferences to ILA s. 39B\n\nSidenotes which cite ILA s. 39B refer to section 39B of the ILA which provides that where an undivided regulation, rule or clause of a Schedule is amended by the insertion of one or more subregulations, subrules or subclauses the original regulation, rule or clause becomes subregulation, subrule or subclause (1) and is amended by the insertion of the expression \"(1)\" at the beginning of the original regulation, rule or clause.\n\nInterpretation\n\nAs from 1 January 2001, amendments to section 36 of the ILA have the following effects:\n\n• Headings\n\nAll headings included in a Statutory Rule which is made on or after  \n1 January 2001 form part of that Statutory Rule. Any heading inserted in a Statutory Rule which was made before 1 January 2001, by a Statutory Rule made on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Statutory Rule.  \nThis includes headings to Parts, Divisions or Subdivisions in a Schedule; Orders; Parts into which an Order is divided; clauses; regulations; rules; items; tables; columns; examples; diagrams; notes or forms.  \nSee section 36(1A)(2A)(2B).\n\n• Examples, diagrams or notes\n\nAll examples, diagrams or notes included in a Statutory Rule which is made on or after 1 January 2001 form part of that Statutory Rule. Any examples, diagrams or notes inserted in a Statutory Rule which was made before 1 January 2001, by a Statutory Rule made on or after 1 January 2001, form part of that Statutory Rule. See section 36(3A).\n\n• Punctuation\n\nAll punctuation included in a Statutory Rule which is made on or after  \n1 January 2001 forms part of that Statutory Rule. Any punctuation inserted in a Statutory Rule which was made before 1 January 2001, by a Statutory Rule made on or after 1 January 2001, forms part of that Statutory Rule.  \nSee section 36(3B).\n\n• Provision numbers\n\nAll provision numbers included in a Statutory Rule form part of that Statutory Rule, whether inserted in the Statutory Rule before, on or after  \n1 January 2001. Provision numbers include regulation numbers, rule numbers, subregulation numbers, subrule numbers, paragraphs and subparagraphs. See section 36(3C).\n\n• Location of \"legislative items\"\n\nA \"legislative item\" is a penalty, an example or a note. As from 13 October 2004, a legislative item relating to a provision of a Statutory Rule is taken to be at the foot of that provision even if it is preceded or followed by another legislative item that relates to that provision. For example, if a penalty at the foot of a provision is followed by a note, both of these legislative items will be regarded as being at the foot of that provision. See section 36B.\n\n• Other material\n\nAny explanatory memorandum, table of provisions, endnotes, index and other material printed after the Endnotes does not form part of a Statutory Rule. See section 36(3)(3D)(3E).\n\n2 Table of Amendments\n\nThere are no amendments made to the National Electricity (Victoria) (VicGrid) Regulations 2025 by statutory rules, subordinate instruments and Acts.\n\n3 Explanatory details\n\nNo entries at date of publication.","sortOrder":0}],"analysis":{"summary":{"complexity_score":4,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"Insufficient text is available to assess whether the scope changed from the original intent.

They create **VicGrid**—a new state-owned body that takes over many functions previously handled by the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) for Victoria's transmission network.\n\n**What VicGrid does:**\n- **Plans the grid**: VicGrid now prepares the annual transmission planning report and oversees the \"Regulatory Investment Test for Transmission\" (the economic test for new power lines and substations).\n- **Builds infrastructure**: VicGrid can directly procure and oversee construction of major grid upgrades (called \"contestable augmentations\") through competitive tender processes, rather than just leaving this to private transmission companies.\n- **Coordinates connections**: VicGrid manages connections to the \"declared shared network\"—the backbone transmission system—replacing AEMO in this role for Victoria.\n- **Sets fees**: VicGrid charges fees to electricity market participants and recovers costs like a transmission network business.\n\n**Key changes for industry:**\n- **New procurement rules**: Large grid projects (over $20 million, indexed for inflation) must go through competitive tender unless VicGrid decides otherwise based on security, practicality, or lack of bidders.\n- **AER oversight**: The Australian Energy Regulator (AER) assesses whether VicGrid's tender processes are genuinely competitive and publishes assessment reports.\n- **Immunity caps**: VicGrid and its staff get limited liability protection—maximum $2 million per person per incident for VicGrid itself, and $1 per officer/employee (yes, one dollar), with an overall $100 million annual cap for the organisation.\n- **Data sharing**: CSIRO is added as an approved recipient of protected electricity market information.\n\n**Why it matters:**\nThis shifts control of Victoria's transmission network planning from the national market operator (AEMO) to a state body, reflecting the Victorian government's push for more direct control over the energy transition.
