The Australian Energy Market Commission’s (AEMC) Reliability Panel is entering a new era of leadership, with a new Chair and a number of other key appointments to the Panel.
Commissioner Rainer Korte has been welcomed as the new Chair, taking over from Commissioner Tim Jordan, who served as Chair from June 2024 and Acting Chair from February 2023.
Under the National Electricity Rules, the AEMC must appoint one of its Commissioners as Panel chairperson for up to three years, with the option to also appoint an Acting Chair.
The AEMC announced that Commissioner Sally McMahon has been appointed as Acting Chair, taking over from Commissioner Rainer Korte.
Joel Gilmore has been reappointed as the discretionary member representing large renewable generators, and Mark Vincent joins the panel as the newly appointed member representing Distribution Network Service Providers (DNSPs).
The AEMC welcomed the new members and extended its gratitude to outgoing Panel Chair, Commissioner Tim Jordan, and outgoing DNSP representative, Peter Price, for their “outstanding contributions during their respective tenures”.
