PIAC wrote to the Executive Director Pricing and Policy for the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) to provide recommendations and insights to help inform the 2023 Energy Retail Market Monitoring Review. IPART is the energy and water regulator for NSW.

- Payment harms
- Retail offers, pricing and tariffs
- Equity in a changing climate and energy system
- Debt and disconnection
