On 28 November 2024, the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) published a Final Rule to achieve universal smart meter deployment in the NEM by 2030. The Final Rule introduces a package of reforms designed to accelerate the deployment of smart meters and unlock the benefits of smart meter data.
The work packages reflect the Final Rule approach of considering several core reforms and enabling reforms to accelerate the deployment of smart meters and utilise the functionality of the smart meters. The core reforms relate to the acceleration of smart meters in the NEM and delivery of power quality data to DNSPs; enabling reforms include reducing barriers to installing smart meters and new approaches to minimise the costs for industry and consumers for testing and inspection of metering installations.
AEMO has concluded consultation on the changes to the Retail Electricity Market Procedures under the National Electricity Rules (NER) to consider the core reform of access to power quality data.
The Final Report considers feedback to the Draft Determination, where AEMO proposed to create a new Basic Power Quality Data Procedure defining a Metering Coordinator's obligations to provide Basic Power Quality Data to local network service providers.
This consultation was consulted in accordance with the Rules consultation requirements detailed in clause 7.16.6C of the National Electricity Rules.
