Selling energy inside your site?
Get the exemption framework right.
Shopping centres, apartment buildings, land lease communities and caravan parks that on-sell energy are regulated, whether they know it or not. We work out the pathway that fits, register or apply for the exemptions you need, and set up the compliance that keeps you covered.
AER and state exemption frameworks · Embedded network compliance · On-selling
First question: authorisation or exemption?
Whether you need a retail authorisation, a registrable exemption, or fall within a deemed class depends on who you sell to, how much energy is involved and where the site is. Getting this wrong in either direction is expensive: unnecessary authorisations carry ongoing obligations you don’t need, and unregistered selling is a compliance breach.
Exemption
Most on-sellers and embedded network operators can rely on a deemed, registrable or individual exemption. We identify the class that fits, register it or apply for it, and document the conditions you must meet.
Retail authorisation
Selling beyond the exemption framework means a full AER authorisation or state licence. If that’s where your model is heading, we prepare the application. Our team has a 100% success rate in obtaining energy retail authorisations.
Embedded network compliance, end to end
An exemption is not a set-and-forget. Exemption conditions carry real obligations to the customers inside your network.
We support owners, operators and on-sellers to meet AER and state requirements: pricing limits, information obligations, life support processes, metering, and dispute handling. From structuring a new embedded network to fixing one that has drifted out of compliance, you get practical, specialist advice rather than theory.

How an engagement runs
