WA Single Property Network Registration Checklist
The records, responsibilities and technical information a prospective WA single property network provider should assemble.
1. Identify the service and responsible entity
- Legal owner and operator of the property network.
- Entity purchasing electricity at the master connection.
- Entity supplying or on-charging electricity to occupants.
- Contractors performing metering, billing and customer service.
- Property list where the prospective provider operates more than one site.
2. Assemble the technical register
- Single-line diagrams and connection information.
- Master-meter and retailer account details.
- Submeter register with serial numbers, locations and customer mapping.
- CT ratios and test information where applicable.
- Communications, gateways, loggers and data platforms.
- Solar, batteries, generators and EV charging systems.
3. Map customer and billing processes
- Customer agreements and information notices.
- Tariffs, fees and approval process.
- Bill format, frequency and meter-reading periods.
- Payments, arrears, hardship, concessions and disconnection.
- Complaints, escalation and record retention.

4. Confirm the latest regulatory position
Energy Policy WA currently states that the requirement for SPN registration begins on 1 July 2027. Registered providers must comply with the relevant AES Code, and providers supplying small-use customers will need to participate in the Energy and Water Ombudsman WA Scheme. This checklist is practical preparation, not legal advice; the final obligations and registration material should be confirmed with the ERA and current legislation.
