Summary
The REC Metering Operations Schedule has limited distinction between the activities for import and export metering. These provisions were not specifically developed to support a market with high volumes of small-scale microgeneration with shared metering assets for import and export.

Latest Update
This Change Proposal has been implemented as part of the February 2026 REC Release.
Summary
REC Schedules 1, 14, and 15 all note that in order to Qualify as a Safe Isolation Provider (SIP), the Party needs to be a Qualified Meter Operator Agent (MOA). It has since been determined that Qualified Electricity Metering Operatives (EMOs) should also be able to Qualify as SIPs.

Problem Statement
Requiring SIPs to be fully Qualified MOAs may be hindering smaller Parties who wish to be SIPs from Qualifying under the REC. This in turn may be reducing the number of Qualified SIPs in the market for Consumers to choose from or causing Consumers inadvertently to contract with people who are not Qualified SIPs to carry out SIP Works.
