On 29 September 2022, the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) commenced a review into technical standards for Consumer Energy Resources (CER) such as solar PV, battery storage systems and electric vehicles. The review is considering:
- compliance with, and enforcement of, CER technical standards in the National Electricity Rules (NER)
- the interpretation of standards by National Electricity Market (NEM) participants and other relevant stakeholders
- interactions between the NER and other regulatory regimes that require compliance with CER technical standards.
On 17 November 2022 the AER made a submission to the consultation paper, highlighting a range of issues for the AEMC’s consideration.
On 27 April 2023, the AEMC released a draft report for the review. The AER made a submission to the draft report on 29 May 2023.
