Distributed Energy Resources - Initial Standard
Tender ID: 440674
Tender Details
Tender Description
The Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) is conducting a consultation on the contents of the initial Distributed Energy Resource (DER) minimum technical standard (the ‘Initial Standard’).
This consultation is being conducted alongside the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) rule change consultation on establishing DER technical standards in the National Electricity Rules (NER) - Technical Standards for Distributed Energy Storage (ERC0301).
October 2020 update: The first stage of consultations on the Initial Standard is now complete and submissions are published below. AEMO has revised the timing of the second stage of consultations to realign with the timing of the AEMC draft determination on ERC0301. This is important to allow AEMO’s next steps to be guided by both industry feedback and the AEMC considerations. AEMO will provide a further update on timeframes and progress for this work after the AEMC has published their draft determination
Background
In March 2020, the Council of Australian Government Energy Council (COAG EC) tasked the Energy Security Board (ESB) and AEMO to develop a rule change request that establishes in the National Electricity Market the initial minimum distributed energy resource (DER) technical standards in 2020, and to develop mirror requirements in Western Australia. At the same time, the ESB was also tasked with considering the future governance arrangements for DER technical standards.
To meet the COAG EC commitments, market bodies are seeking to collaborate with industry to progress:
- An AEMC rule change process to enable the enacting of initial minimum DER technical standards;
- The content of the initial DER minimum technical standards (the subject of this consultation) to be published with the final Rule determination; and
- The development of the ongoing new governance arrangements for the DER technical standards by the ESB, noting a second round of consultations is likely in August.
This consultation addresses the content of an Initial Standard to be made under the rule, should this come into effect.
