| Project Detail |
AEMO and AusNet Services will collaborate with Industry to co-design a CER Data Exchange, the digital foundation for enabling CER data exchange between organisations at scale and value to all consumers. The Project will design the functions, data governance and business model of a CER Data Exchange to deliver an industry-aligned high-level design and implementation plan. Need AEMO’s 2024 Draft Integrated System Plan (ISP) step change scenario forecasts that by 2050 consumer energy resources (CER) in the National Electricity Market (NEM) could reach 86?GW of rooftop solar and 27?GW of flexible demand response from consumer batteries and virtual power plants. However, the Draft 2024 ISP also identifies the risk that CER are not adequately integrated into grid operations. AEMO and state and federal governments also recognise that CER coordination and integration is not on track to meet the state and federal 2030 targets for decarbonisation of the electricity system, with only a small proportion of CERs registered, visible and able to be coordinated. These observations align with international experience, which shows that an uncoordinated approach to CER integration will create costly integration and coordination challenges in the future. The CER Data Exchange will allow multiple industry organisations to share CER related information through a secure digital data exchange to coordinate for power system security and flexibility services, providing greater value to all customers. |
