Advanced metering infrastructure

The Electricity Commission (Commission) views Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI) systems as an important enabler to further the Government Policy Statement on Electricity Governance ((GPS), see paragraph 64)). In particular, AMI systems have the potential to significantly increase demand-side participation in the electricity market.

The Commission considers that AMI system designers and operators should be allowed to find the best technical and economic means to deliver the outcomes sought. The policy areas identified, and the associated guidelines that have resulted, are intended to assist platform operators in the task of establishing and operating their advanced meter infrastructure to best support the strategic objectives and hence maximising the likelihood they will give rise to the benefits sought over time.
