Australia - Proposed National Technical Regulatory Framework and Standards for Consumer Energy Resources

​Australia DCCEEW ​(Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water) published a consultation on techni​cal priorities for National Consumer Energy Resources (CER) Roadmap.

The objective of this work is to support the reliable and secure integration of consumer energy resources (CER)—such as rooftop solar, batteries, electric vehicles and smart devices—into the Australian electricity system.  Increasing CER uptake presents opportunities for greater consumer choice, lower energy costs and emissions reductions, but also raises interoperability, grid security and system reliability challenges. This work aims to address those challenges, by identifying gaps in existing standards and establishing national technical requirements.; Prevention of deceptive practices and consumer protection; Quality requirements; Harmonization.​
