Before a new regulatory proposal is created an agency is required to consult with stakeholders in accordance with the Better Regulation Principles.
A series of consultations have occurred to inform the development of the AES framework, including:
- Electricity Retail Licence and exemptions review, 2020
- Electricity Industry Amendment (AES) Bill 2023
- Consultation on regulation of Embedded Networks, 2024
- Consultation on regulation of On-Site Power Supply Arrangements, 2024
- A Voluntary Embedded Networks Code of Practice in 2024, giving providers an opportunity to test the draft Code of Practice obligations and provide feedback.
Following the decision by the Minister for Energy and Decarbonisation to regulate embedded networks and on-site power supply arrangements under the AES framework, Energy Policy WA will be providing information on:
- Prescribing Regulations – Who needs to register?
- Code of Practice – What do I need to do?
- Registration Fees – What do I need to pay?
Consultation on the Prescribing Regulations is now open.
