The Utility Regulators Forum is undertaking the task of developing a consistent and comprehensive Code of Practice for distributors across the NEM. The absence of a code or guidelines relating to distributed generation has been noted in a number of reports as being a barrier to entry for distributed generation.
However, seeing that work on the Code of Practice was undertaken prior to the development of the national distribution framework, recommendations have been limited. Appropriately, therefore, this work stream has now been integrated into the core work streams developing the economic and non-economic national distribution framework which is the responsibility of the Energy Market Reform Working Group, which includes the work being undertaking on Network Incentives.
