About Daily Energy News
Australia's independent energy intelligence platform — delivering accurate, timely reporting on solar, batteries, EVs, electricity prices and grid infrastructure since 2026.
Who We Are
Daily Energy News is an independently operated Australian energy news publication founded in Melbourne, Victoria. We are not affiliated with any energy retailer, generator, or government body. Our reporting is funded entirely through advertising revenue, with no sponsored content or paid editorial placements.
Our mission is simple: give every Australian access to clear, accurate, and timely information about the country's rapidly changing energy landscape — without paywalls, without spin.

- Policy — Federal and state government energy policy, regulatory decisions from the AER and AEMC, and industry consultation outcomes

Our reporting draws on primary sources including:

- Australian Energy Regulator (AER) — retail price determinations, market monitoring
- Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) — rule changes and market design
- Federal and state government departments — policy announcements and program details

We link to primary sources wherever possible. When we report statistics or data, we cite the originating organisation. If you believe any figure on our site is incorrect, please contact us immediately.
Live Electricity Prices
Our Live Prices page displays real-time wholesale electricity prices sourced directly from AEMO's National Electricity Market Summary API, updated every five minutes. These prices reflect wholesale spot prices and do not represent the retail tariffs consumers pay — we include estimated grid network charges to give Australians a useful guide to current market conditions.
Corrections Policy
We are committed to accuracy. If we publish incorrect information, we will correct it promptly and transparently. Corrections are noted within the article with the date the correction was made. To report an error, email editorial@dailyenergynews.com.au with the article URL and details of the inaccuracy.
