Draft Determination (2021)
On 3 December 2020, the AEMC made a draft determination for a more preferable draft rule to create an initial set of technical standards that will apply to distributed energy resources across the National Electricity Market. The draft rule is expected to address the immediate concerns arising from the increased uptake of small rooftop solar generators while avoiding the implementation of new, potentially inefficient costs on industry and customers.
The AER provided its submission on 14 January 2021.
Consultation Paper (2020)
On 25 June 2020, the AEMC released a consultation paper on AEMO's proposed rule change to establish a framework to enable AEMO to set initial minimum technical standard for distributed energy resources.
