WA Alternative Electricity Services (AES): Is Your Embedded Network Ready?

Get practical clarity on Western Australia’s Alternative Electricity Services (AES) framework, understand how the rules may apply to your single property network (SPN), embedded network or on-site power supply (OPS) service, and build a sensible path forward before registration deadlines create unnecessary pressure.

The best time to prepareBefore the rush begins
Reduce uncertainty

AES preparation does not need to become another complex energy project.

If you own, operate or advise a single property network (SPN), embedded network or on-site power supply (OPS) service, the AES framework may affect how your service is registered, managed and communicated. Leaving the assessment too late can mean rushed decisions, unclear responsibilities and avoidable rework.

1

Know where you stand

Map your current arrangement against the likely AES service categories and identify the information gaps.

2

Prioritise what matters

Separate immediate preparation from later implementation so your team can act in the right order.

3

Move with confidence

Turn technical and regulatory complexity into a practical roadmap built around your assets and stakeholders.

Who should prepare?

Designed for WA energy and property stakeholders.

A short readiness conversation is particularly useful if you are unsure whether the framework applies to your site or portfolio.

A useful first step

Start with a complimentary AES Readiness Review.

In a focused introductory session, we will explore your current arrangement, discuss where the framework may intersect with your business and outline the next steps worth investigating.

This initial review is general and preliminary. It is not legal advice, a formal compliance assessment or a guarantee of registration.

Your review includes:

  • A high-level applicability discussion
  • Initial service and stakeholder mapping
  • Priority questions and information gaps
  • A practical next-step recommendation
  • A short written summary after the call

Frequently asked questions

Before you book.

What does AES mean in Western Australia?

Alternative Electricity Services (AES) is Western Australia’s regulatory framework for prescribed electricity services, initially including single property networks (SPNs) and on-site power supply (OPS) services. The framework is governed by Part 3A of the Electricity Industry Act 2004, regulations and the AES Code of Practice.

Does the framework definitely apply to my site?

That depends on the service model, ownership, customers and other details. The readiness review helps identify which questions need to be resolved, but formal legal or regulatory advice may still be required.

What should I prepare for the review?

Bring a simple description of the site, who supplies electricity, who receives it, existing metering arrangements and any relevant agreements or diagrams you already have.

Can PKTR help beyond the initial review?

Yes. Depending on your needs, PKTR Energy can support embedded networks, renewable generation, metering and meter-data services, project planning and implementation.

Timing statements are based on current WA Government guidance and may change. View the official AES framework information.
