Hi, I live in a village and our electricity is supplied through an embedded network.
There are about 100,000 consumers in NSW in embedded networks.
In an embedded network there is an NMI meter, called a mother meter,at the start and all other connections are supplied through child meters that are not NMI meters.
Our supplier states they are unable to supply us with an NMI, we are theoretically able to change supplier but it is difficult, other suppliers aren’t interested in us, and we are afforded some tariff protection in embedded networks.
The NSW government battery rebate only allows 28kw of battery rebate each NMI and one application so most people in embedded networks in NSW cannot claim the rebate.
Has anyone else in NSW had this problem and do other states with rebates have this problem.
Just waiting to see what happens with the Federal government rebate.
Cheers. Hol
Solar Battery Rebates in Embedded Networks

Annoying isn’t it
I’m hoping / assuming that the federal rebate won’t impose limits per NMI. Since it’s similar to the way Solar is done (STCs), I don’t think STCs have such limits per NMI? Or at least I don’t think there is a limit to the number of STCs that can be issued for a single NMI serving an embedded network? I could be wrong.
I’m in QLD, also a prisoner of my embedded network where I have total free choice my electricity provider, from a pool of one. Sigh. The rates aren’t that bad but I’d like to be able to play the VPP game.
