On August 15, 2024, the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) published the FTA Rule and determination regarding the "Unlocking Consumer Energy Resources (CER) benefits through flexible trading" project. This FTA Rule aims to enhance the flexibility of how consumer energy resources, such as solar panels and batteries, are used and traded within the National Electricity Market (NEM). The primary objective is to enable consumers to manage their energy usage more effectively and to participate actively in the market.
The FTA Rule introduces changes to integrate CER into the NEM, allowing consumers or their service providers to manage CER in ways that provide benefits to the customer and to the energy system. It also includes provisions for measuring energy from previously unmetered supply points, street furniture connections (e.g. streetlights, EV chargers).
To support this rule, new metering types – type 8 and type 9 – have been introduced offering cost effective metering solutions to measure secondary settlements point and street furniture connections.
AEMO has prepared an Issues Paper to consider changes to the Retail Electricity Market Procedures under the National Electricity Rules (NER) to consider reforms from the Final Rule.
AEMO invites submissions to the Issues Paper using the response template below by 5.00 pm (Melbourne time) on 28 May 2025. Submissions must be sent to: NEM.Retailprocedureconsultations@aemo.com.au
