		<description><![CDATA[ATA’s view is that given the now overwhelming evidence in regards to the inefficient cost increases occurring in the NEM as a result of increasing peak demand, decreasing load factor, and an over-reliance on centralised electricity generation, a number of changes to the NER, and possibly other regulatory and legal instruments of the energy market, are necessary to ensure the achievement of the NEO and in particular serve the long term interests of consumers as enshrined therein.

These changes would create improved efficiencies at the wholesale market, distribution, transmission and retail level by driving down energy prices from their current steeply projected incline.
