The AEMC will now publish its draft determination for the Unlocking CER benefits through flexible trading rule change by October 2023. 

The project is examining ways to unlock benefits for customers with consumer energy resources (CER) such as solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles.  

The consultation paper for this rule change was released for comment in December 2022.  

This extension of time will allow the Commission further opportunity to consider the matters raised in response to the consultation paper. 

A directions paper is also expected to be published mid-year.  

This project remains an important priority for energy market bodies and complements other reforms underway to effectively integrate CER into the National Electricity Market.
