Open letters to fuel industry stakeholders
In the lead up to substantive parts of the Fuel Industry Act (the Act) taking effect, the Commission published open letters to fuel industry stakeholders on 9 July and 10 December, 2021. The open letters summarise the requirements of the Act and when they come into effect, explain the Commission’s roles under the Act, and how and when we expect to engage with the sector.
Alongside the open letter, the Commission also published media releases on 9 July 2021, 10 August 2021 and 11 February 2022 with an accompanying infographic which provides a high-level overview of the new fuel regulatory regime and our role within it.
