35  Direct supply relationship—Act, par 71(b)

 (1) The following requirements are prescribed for the energy storage system:

 (a) the energy storage system must receive renewable electricity directly from the electricity generation system;

 (b) metering or measurement of electricity that enters the energy storage system must meet the requirements (if any) prescribed by a measurement standard applying to the energy storage system.

 (2) The following requirements are prescribed for the electricity generation system:

 (a) the electricity generation system must supply eligible renewable electricity to the energy storage system;

 (b) the electricity generation system must meet the requirements (if any) prescribed by a measurement standard that apply to the electricity generation system.

 (3) The following requirements are prescribed for the transfer of electricity:

 (a) the transfer between the electricity generation system and the energy storage system must be metered or measured in accordance with the requirements (if any) prescribed by an applicable measurement standard;

 (b) the transfer must occur through a direct line from the electricity generation system to the energy storage system.

connection point meter, in relation to a facility, means:

 (a) if the facility is in the national electricity market—the meter installed at a connection point (within the meaning of the National Electricity Rules) of the facility; or

 (b) in any other case—the meter installed at a point where electricity is transferred from the facility to an electricity network.

direct line, an electricity generation system and an energy storage system transfer electricity through a direct line if:

 (a) the electricity generation system and the energy storage system are electrically connected; and

 (b) the electricity transferred from the electricity generation system and the energy storage system does not pass through:

 (i) a connection point meter; or

 (ii) another load.

eligible renewable electricity means electricity generated:

 (a) using an eligible renewable energy source; and

 (b) in accordance with the Act.

load has the same meaning as in Part 3 of the Future Made in Australia (Guarantee of Origin) Measurement Standard 2025.

national electricity market means the interconnected electricity grids in the participating jurisdictions in the National Electricity Rules.
