The AER today released a Consultation Notice seeking views on PLUS ES's trial waiver application. PLUS ES is seeking a waiver from provisions of the National Electricity Rules to allow it to install EV chargers with in-built metering installations that do not meet all the requirements of the Metrology Procedure to comply with relevant Australian Standards for outdoor metering installations.
The Consultation Notice outlines the application, including details of the proposed trial, PLUS ES’s assessment of the merits against the innovative trial principles, and questions for consultation.
Background
The trial waiver function is part of the AER’s commitment to regulatory sandboxing, which aims to help energy innovators and start-ups navigate complex regulatory frameworks and enable the trial of new products and services.
