    Please note that AEMO cannot give advice about your legal rights and obligations.

    How to deregister

    A registered participant in an AEMO-operated market can apply to be deregistered from any registrable capacity. This process is referred to as “revocation”.

    Existing participants seeking to deregister must apply to AEMO for revocation of registration in the gas markets. The application should be on a formal letterhead, signed by a duly authorised company officer, and include:

    • The participant’s full name and ABN.
    • Relevant gas Company ID(s) (if applicable).
    • Markets and capacity(ies)from which the participant wishes to deregister.
    • The business reason(s) why the participant considers it is (or will be) no longer required to be registered in the relevant categories under the National Gas Rules.
    • A preferred future deregistration effective date (AEMO cannot guarantee this date, but will try to meet the timeframe provided).

    Depending on circumstances, AEMO may require additional information to verify the reasons for deregistration and confirm that any ongoing liability in the market will be met.

    Upon deregistration, the status of the organisation is changed in the various system registers maintained by AEMO. Approximately six to nine months after the date of deregistration, when all revisions have been settled:

    • Data sharing to and from the deregistered participant ID is removed.
    • Access to AEMO’s market systems by the deregistered participant ID is revoked.
    • Subsequently produced statements and reports are disabled.

    When an organisation has ceased to be registered in any market and category(ies), it does not affect any prior obligation or liability of that organisation under the relevant market rules.

    To re-register, the organisation must complete the registration process required for a new organisation.
