The Clean Energy Regulator (CER) is expected to deliver an accreditation scheme operator (ASO) to administer the accreditation program for installers and designers under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES), according to Energy Skills Australia.

“All accredited installers and designers must transfer to the new ASO within three months from the February announcement to remain eligible for small-scale technology certificates (STCs),” Energy Skills Australia  says.

“There is now a call to installers and designers to prepare for a change in the provider of the Clean Energy Council (CEC) accreditation program.”

To support a smooth transition to the new provider, Energy Skill Australia says the CEC is rolling out two key changes to the CEC Accreditation for those looking to apply before February 2024.

Further information on the changes can be viewed on the CER webpage.
