Innovation and research

We are committed to exploring new and innovative ways to deliver more efficient demand management solutions.

Our trials form part of our Demand Management Innovation Allowance (DMIA) program, which is funded by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER). This enables us to conduct research and develop projects to trial new non-network technologies and strategies for reducing or deferring network investment. .

Our demand management innovation trials include:

shifting appliance or equipment use from peak to non-peak periods
converting the appliance energy source from electricity to alternative
operation of embedded generators
power factor correction.
