    Basic offer for Dynamic Connections

    From mid-2026* customers installing solar and batteries up to 30 kVA will have a new connection option.

    To provide customers with greater flexibility for import and export, as well as better value from your solar and battery investment, we are seeking to introduce a Dynamic Model Standing Offer (MSO), which will allow dynamic connections to proceed as a basic connection service.

    Dynamic connections have been available for the past three years as a negotiated offer. From mid-2026* the Dynamic MSO will become part of our suite of basic connection offers.

    * Subject to approval by the Australian Energy Regulator.

    What you need to know about the new Basic Dynamic MSO

    Information for CustomersInformation for Installers
    • No application fee
    • Minimal or no network upgrades are required to enable the connection
    • Premises must be directly connected to the electricity network
    • System must have an inverter capacity of less than or equal to:
      • Single-phase 10 kVA PV and 10 kVA energy storage system (ESS)
      • Two-phase 5 kVA PV and 5 kVA ESS per phase
      • Three-phase 10 kVA per phase
    • System must be capable of operating dynamically or has a compliant Home Energy Management System
    • Export up to 10 kW per phase (variable) in normal operating conditions
    • Guaranteed minimum export in normal operating conditions: 1.5 kW
    • Larger systems will be allowed on single-phase connections
    • Import limits for batteries and EV chargers
    • Dynamic MSO connections will not be available for SWER lines or isolated networks.

    Subject to compliance with the connection standard requirements, customers can access:

    • Dynamic default export limit: 1.5 kW
    • Dynamic maximum export limit: up to 10 kW per phase
    • Single-phase systems up to 20 kVA total (10 kVA solar + 10 kVA battery)
    • Two-phase 5 kVA PV and 5 kVA ESS per phase
    • Three-phase 10 kVA per phase
    • NB Hybrid inverter rule: combined solar + battery inverter capacity must not exceed 10 kVA
    • Import limits prescribed by connection standards
    • Default import limit 1.5 kW; and
    • Maximum import limit no more than:
      • Single-phase 18 kW
      • Two-phase and three-phase 10 kW per phase
    • Eligible customers can receive an offer within 10 business days or sooner should you choose to expedite your application.

    What is a Dynamic Connection?

    A dynamic connection uses real-time signals to manage energy exports and imports (where applicable).

    Instead of a fixed limit, the inverter receives dynamic operating envelope signals (DOE) every 5 minutes via Wi-Fi or ethernet. This means:

    • Export more when the network has capacity
    • Automatically reduce exports during congestion.

    What are the benefits of a Dynamic Connection?

    • When registered and connected to the dynamic communication system, customers are able to export more solar energy when the network has capacity
    • Customers can install larger systems on single-phase without upgrading to three-phase
    • Faster approvals and no application fee
    • Helps keep electricity prices lower by avoiding costly network upgrades.

    How to apply

    • Installers (on behalf of customers) apply via the Electrical Partners Portal
    • Eligible customers receive an offer within 10 business days or sooner should you choose to expedite your application
    • Customer or installer must register the dynamic system via our Self Service Portal to unlock full benefits.
