Distributed Energy Resources Register Update

CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.

Whats Happening?

In September 2018 the Australian Energy Market Commission made a ruling for the Australian Energy Market (AEMO) to establish a register of Distributed Energy Resources (DER), the register will capture information on newly installed solar panels, small scale battery storage and other forms of DER.

Once live, the DER Register will give both AEMO and Distribution Network Service Providers (DNSPs) better visibility of installed DER capacity across Australia to enable them to plan and run the electricity grid more effectively in the future.

The Register was due to go live on 1 December 2019, however AEMO has delayed the register roll out and it is on hold due to technical issues, the new launch date is unknown at this point in time.

Essential Energy is committed to partnering effectively with our electrical contractors and will provide an update as soon as one is available.

Further Information

For more information on the register, this can be found on the AEMO website or by downloading the Fact sheet for installers in the ACT and NSW.
