If you are planning to install an energy device in your home or small business, you are required to register your energy device with your Distribution Network Operator (DNO), the company that is responsible for bringing electricity to the property where you are installing the device.

Why is energy storage important?

Energy storage has become an area of focus in many jurisdictions across the globe due to its potential to offer a wide range of benefits to electricity systems. This Expert Guide brings together analysis from our legal experts across 22 jurisdictions.

Does energy storage need a regulatory framework?

Our review demonstrates that no jurisdiction currently provides a comprehensive regulatory framework for energy storage, with the majority of jurisdictions currently allowing storage to be defined as “generation” for the purposes of licensing and other regulatory requirements.

What is behind the meter energy storage?

Behind-the-meter energy storage systems can be used to alter a consumer’s demand profile. These systems enable consumers to draw energy from the grid, and store it for later on-site use or to enable better use of any onsite generation, such as rooftop solar.
