This Knowledge Base offers an entry point to Consumer Energy Resource Integration (CERI) for product developers looking to better understand the Australian market. It aims to support market entry for new products and services by summarising market requirements and opportunities for CER in relatively simple terms.
You can browse the Knowledge Base using the navigation menu on the left, or if you are on a mobile, use green menu button on the left your screen. The Knowledge Base is divided into 17 sections and contains around 100 articles!
Alternatively, you can use the search function to find relevant pages or to produce simple content summaries. Try entering a question.
The origin story
The CERI project has been initiated and funded by the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA). The content has been developed as an enX-led collaboration of over 100 industry experts from product developers, industry consultants, network business, retailers, regulators, industry groups and government agencies.
This project originates as a recommendation of Australia’s National Roadmap for Bidirectional EV Charging which found that international product developers were after a streamlined way to access Australian market requirements. Rather than being limited to bidirectional charging however, the knowledge base covers all forms of CER, from smart appliances to EVSE, right up to distribution-connected solar farms and battery energy storage systems.
How to contribute or suggest edits
You can help us build out the content, and keep it up to date and accurate, by using the “suggest an edit” link on each page. Your suggestions will go into a change request pipeline, and we will get to them as soon as we can. If you highlight the text of concern, you can use the “add feedback” [
] method. That way will know what information you are specifically referring to.
You can also “follow” pages to keep up to date on changes as they are made. This includes the CERI newsrooms where you can keep up to date on new Australian industry developments and suggest new content that should be posted.
The CERI glossary
The Knowledge Base is supported by a glossary of over 700 key terms in common use in Australia’s energy sector. In some cases we have chosen to use common (rather than official) definitions so that they are more intuitive and useful (enough) to readers. Let us know if you think a definition could be improved via the “suggest an edit” link at the top of the page.
