Case studies of business models in use in embedded networks

These case studies are examples of typical business models that Energy Policy WA understands are being used in embedded networks in Western Australia, and that may fall under the Voluntary Embedded Networks Code of Practice. They are not representative of all business models used and are not to be relied on to understand how any specific embedded network is operated.
