Why are regulatory changes being considered?
The number of embedded networks in WA is growing fast. However, customers in embedded networks:
- do not have important electricity-specific customer rights
- do not have access to a framework to make sure that embedded network sellers are held accountable to their obligations
- cannot go to the Energy and Water Ombudsman if they have a complaint or dispute
The WA Government wants to make sure embedded network customers have the same types of rights as other electricity customers who have a direct connection to the main electricity grid.
Energy Policy WA is currently reviewing feedback to the consultation on the regulation of embedded networks. Read the feedback received here.
Embedded network sellers can also register now to participate in the Voluntary Embedded Networks Code of Practice.
