The CER will assess applications against requirements using 10 evaluation criteria in accordance with Section 20BH of the REE Regulations.

Evaluation committee

The evaluation committee will assess applications in accordance with the REE Regulations and develop:

  • an application assessment report
  • recommended successful or unsuccessful applicants
  • an evaluation report.

Delegate approval

The CER delegate will review the evaluation report and make the final decision on the approval of one or more installer and designer accreditation scheme operators.

Applicants notified

The CER estimates it will notify applicants of the assessment outcome and publish the decision to our website during February 2024.

The CER will engage with approved applicants to formalise alignment with the SRES and prepare for transition arrangements.

Unsuccessful applicants will be offered a debrief on request to discuss the outcome of their application.

Schemes announced

After approved scheme operators are announced, the CER will communicate with industry, including installers, designers and agents, regarding transition arrangements.

Approved scheme operators will have an ongoing working relationship with the CER. The CER will monitor performance of approved scheme operators in accordance with the REE Regulations including all elements of the undertaking made by approved scheme operators. The CER will take appropriate actions to maintain integrity in an approved accreditation scheme and operator.
