Submission on the AER's Draft Export Limit Interim Guidance Note

Flexible export limits provide the opportunity to manage network capacity, maximising the ability of the network to carry local generation whilst reducing the need for investment in poles and wires. The CEC supports the work produced by the AER to create clear guidance on expectations required by Distribution Network Service Providers (DNSPs) for successful flexible export uptake by consumers. We offer several recommendations to improve the impact the proposed Guidance Note will have in supporting and building consumer trust in flexible exports.

NSW Peak Demand Reduction Scheme: Rule Change 2

The Clean Energy Council and its members are strongly supportive of the NSW Government’s focus on demand response and demand shifting mechanisms to reduce demand during peak periods. The greatest opportunities to enhance the energy transition reside in the demand-side of the market, and the CEC and its Members commend the important work the NSW Office of Energy and Climate Change are doing. By improving our energy performance (including demand response, load shifting and energy efficiency), we can make the energy transition faster, cheaper, smoother and more reliable.
