NSW Emergency Backstop Mechanism and Consumer Energy Resources Installer Portal

AGL welcomes the opportunity to provide responses to the consultation questions posed by the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water (DCCEEW-NSW) on the NSW Emergency Backstop Mechanism and a Consumer Energy Resources (CER) Installer Portal.  AGL supports the NSW Government’s requirement for distribution network service providers to harmonise their implementation of the backstop mechanism, and to deliver a single CER installer portal for Common Smart Inverter Profile – Australia capability tests and to improve the quality of information collected on CER installations. AGL’s view is that harmonisation is critical to achieve a smoother implementation in NSW, and to ensure the effectiveness of the emergency backstop.
