Australian Approved Relevant Agent
From Sept 28, 2020, the SA government required each owner/operator to authorise or appoint a relevant agent to manage new installed power plants.
GREENESS has been approved by SA Department for Energy and Mining as a Relevant Agent since Sept 24, 2020.
From 28 September 2020 the SA Government’s Smarter Homes Requirements are coming into effect and all new embedded generation installations in South Australia must comply with the new requirements outlined in the Government’s ‘Smarter Homes’ amendments to the Electricity (General) Regulations.
One of the new requirements for customers installing embedded generation or replacing specified generation plant (e.g. a PV inverter), is to appoint a ‘Relevant Agent’. The Relevant Agent will initiate control of the output of the embedded generator as directed by the SA Government or other party with a lawful authority such as SA Power Networks.
The Relevant Agent framework has been designed to enable the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) and State Government to reduce the risk of major blackouts, under certain rare circumstances, by monitoring and maintaining safe levels of solar PV generation.
Green ESS has been approved as relevant agent by OTR, which is listed on the State Government’s List of Relevant Agents. You can appointed Green ESS as your Authorized Agent on behalf of the customer as part of the SEG application submission.
