Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal

IPART is the independent regulator that determines the maximum prices that can be charged for certain retail energy, water and transport services in New South Wales. We also determine local government rates. To ensure the quality and reliability of these services, we monitor service delivery, audit suppliers and oversee licence compliance by certain water utilities and retail energy suppliers.

IPART also serves as the NSW Government’s economic advisor and policy think tank. In this role, we review the pricing of other services and investigate various aspects of industry productivity, competition, performance and planning. We administer the Energy Savings Scheme at the Government’s request. We provide independent regulatory decisions and advice to protect and promote the ongoing interests of the consumers, taxpayers and citizens of NSW.
