SA Power Networks are introducing an automated compliance management feature for small embedded generation (SEG). From 19th May, SmartApply users will have restricted access to lodge SEG applications if they have outstanding non-compliant installations. This is part of our requirement to ensure that security of supply in South Australia and long-term direction to manage the network better support the continued growth of solar.

On 19th April we held an informative webinar on the new automated compliance management feature with tips on how to be successful in achieving your Distributed Energy Resources (DER) compliance responsibilities.
