Metering Installation Exemption Automation Consultation Feedback Outcome
AEMO would like to thank stakeholders who provided their feedback on the preferred effective date and B2M XML Schema implementation option supporting the Metering Installation Exemption Automation Consultation. AEMO received 14 responses, most of whom supporting a deferral of the effective date to early March 24, and a full schema update to version r44 (Option 2).
A summary of the participants feedback can be found here.
Taking into consideration participant feedback from draft determination submissions and around the schema change discussion, AEMO has determined the following:
The effective date of the metering installation exemption automation will be deferred to early March 2024.
A full B2M XML Schema update to version r44 will be implemented.
This decision, including exact dates, will be confirmed in the Final Determination of the metering installation exemption automation consultation, expected to be published by 27 September 2023.
Importantly, AEMO is still committed to releasing the MSATS Portal and API functionality for the metering installation exemption automation into the preproduction environment in early October 2023. However, the B2M XML Schema version update (r44) will need to be released into preproduction later in the year, noting that the ASWG approval process is currently underway.
The current version of the technical specifications can be found here, it includes details of the metering installation exemption, and details of the Metering Exemptions API Reference.
AEMO will continue to provide regular updates to stakeholders regarding the status of the metering installation exemption automation consultation and associated implementation.
