The IEC is a statutory body established under the National Electricity Rules responsible for developing and making recommendations on changing B2B Procedures. The role and responsibilities of the IEC are defined by the Rules, the IEC Operating Manual, and the IEC Election Procedures. 

The IEC developed this education pack to support participants with additional guidance on the B2B procedures and the IEC’s roles and responsibilities. This education pack also highlights how B2B e-Hub interacts with the B2M processes and systems overseen by AEMO.

In completing its statutory role in relation to managing the ongoing development of B2B Procedures and any changes to them, the IEC:

1. Makes recommendations on B2B Procedure changes and oversees the consultation process.
2. In conjunction with AEMO, considers implications of potential policy changes which may affect B2B Procedures.
3. Identifies B2B Procedure continuous improvement opportunities.
4. In conjunction with AEMO, monitors and contributes to B2B Procedure delivery management and prioritisation.

The IEC has established and works closely with the B2B Working Group to undertake a range of investigations with industry input on its behalf. The IEC provides specific directions to the B2B Working Group in relation to the scope of activities and timelines that it requires for each matter it refers to the working group. Information on the B2B Working Group can be found here.

B2B Changes

The process for making changes to B2B Procedures is outlined in the B2B Change Process:

Participants who want to identify a prospective change to B2B Procedures should submit an Issue / Change Form (ICF) to [email protected] using the template below.

As the B2B Procedures evolve through multiple industry consultations, AEMO has developed a document containing version history tables to enable parties to understand which version relates to each change.
