Introduction
A working group established through the Clean Energy Council has
published a consultation draft of the Behind the Meter Distributed
Energy Resources Provider Code (BTM Code).
The BTM Code seeks to enhance customer protections in relation
to the provision of behind the meter distributed energy resources.
This covers solar systems, battery energy storage systems, and
energy management systems, as well as other emerging products and
services that reduce or obviate the need for traditional grid based
consumption ‘in front of the meter’.
Policy Objectives
As a consequence of the increasing uptake of behind the meter
distributed energy resources, a number of industry participants
have identified the need for a code of conduct to improve consumer
outcomes.
