Reminder - Introduction of Level 2 ASP Project Assessment

What is happening?

As previously communicated on the 24 May 2021, from 1 July 2021, Essential Energy is introducing a new process to build collaboration and uplift the capability of all Level 2 ASPs authorised with Essential Energy.

If you work on or near Essential Energy’s network, you will be required to participate in the assessment process.

How it will work:

We plan to conduct these assessments over a two-year period.

  • A notification will appear on your home page of Secure Web Forms (SWF): ‘ASP Level 2 Assessment is now due’. Confirmation of notification will be sent via e-mail.
  • A Network Assurance Facilitator (NAF) will contact you to arrange the onsite project assessment, please make it known when your future projects will be commencing.
  • Your assessment must be completed within three months of your notification.
  • The NAF will assess and determine your score. Scoring will assist the NSW Department of Planning, Industry & Environment with accreditation performance management.

Please note that failure to complete the project assessment will result in a low score, which may affect your accreditation grading.

Assessment categories include:

  • Standard of Construction Work
  • Safety Performance
  • Process Control
  • Environmental Management
  • Capability.

Aims and benefits of the project assessment process.

We aim to:

  • promote a collaborative approach by obtaining feedback from you and answering your questions about working on or near our network
  • provide feedback on previous inspections to avoid future non-conformances
  • create a consistent approach to network connections
  • highlight safety and compliance improvements
  • better manage accreditation for regrades.

What do you need to do?

  1. Please make sure your contact details are up to date in Secure Web Forms (SWF).
  2. Communicate this information to relevant members of your organisation.
