DER Market Integration Consultative Forum

DER Market Integration Consultative Forum (MICF) meetings are held monthly to enable:

  • AEMO to better understand aggregator perspectives on design options for market participation of VPPs / Aggregators, which can inform AEMO’s development and prioritisation of activities.
  • Aggregators to better understand the market operations and practicalities of market participation, facilitating a smoother integration into market frameworks.
  • Timely updates on the progress of trials facilitating DER integration into market operations and related works.

DER Demonstration Insights Forum

DER Demonstrations Insights Forum (DIF) meetings are held monthly to enable:

  • The purpose of the DER-DIF is to provide a critical link between the evidence developed in Demonstration projects and the regulatory reform process. It aims to achieve this by engaging a panel of industry experts to get feedback on project design, implementation and outputs so that:
    • Project partners can consider feedback from industry experts in their decision making
    • Knowledge and learnings are effectively shared between project participants and industry experts
    • Robust evidence is developed that can be utilised or referenced in related regulatory decision making by relevant authorities.

  • Feedback on the specific distribution network service design aspects of the project.
