The Clean Energy Regulator (CER) expects to make a decision on, and announce, the outcome of the installer and designer accreditation scheme operator (ASO) application process in February 2024.
If one or more operators are approved the Clean Energy Council's (CEC) accreditation services will move to the approved ASO(s). The CER will not be accrediting installers and designers.
For currently accredited installers and designers, or those considering applying for accreditation, it is business as usual in engaging with the CEC. For example:
- the CEC will continue to accredit installers and designers until the CER’s decision.
- accredited persons should continue to complete mandatory training, follow installation guidelines, codes of conduct and maintain the currency of their accreditation.
Once we have published our decision, if one or more ASOs are approved we will advise the transitional arrangements. In such case, it is our intent to work with the parties (including the CEC), to have the smoothest transition for all accredited persons including ensuring value for accreditation fees already paid. We are not yet in a position to be able to provide the detail on this.
We will provide monthly updates. Subscribe to receive email updates from the CER and ensure your contact details are up to date with the CEC.
