In brief
In our latest update, we examine the progress of new and existing rule change requests to the AEMC across the month of July, as well as take a closer look at AER's Customer Service Incentive Scheme.
Key takeaways
National electricity rules:
- There have been ten new rule change requests since the last update. Six of these relate to arrangements in the NER for the provision of system services and are being considered by the AEMC through an integrated consultation process. Three of the new requests relate to facilitating efficient integration of DER and are also being considered by the AEMC through an integrated consultation process. The remaining new request seeks to correct minor errors and make non-material changes to the NER.
