To ensure that consumers of behind-the-meter electricity services have adequate customer protections, Energy Policy WA recommended that the Electricity Industry Act 2004 be amended to allow a customised approach to the regulation of prescribed categories of ‘alternative electricity service’ with a single code of practice, the Alternative Electricity Services Code (AES Code).
Legislative amendments to the Electricity Industry Act 2004 to give effect to the Alternative Electricity Services framework were introduced into Parliament on 15 August 2023, in the form of the Electricity Industry Amendment (Alternative Electricity Services) Bill 2023. More information on the framework can be found on the Alternative Electricity Services webpage.
Draft BTM Code Working Group
A working group of stakeholders assisted the development of the draft BTM Code which, together with a draft Embedded Networks Code will form the basis for consultation on the initial version of the single code of practice, the AES Code. This consultation will occur when the legislative changes are more advanced.
The meeting materials from each meeting of the BTM Code Working Group are published below.
