The ACCC has authorised an updated version of the New Energy Tech Consumer Code (NETCC) and we’ve just released a new guide to help Approved Sellers and applicants understand the changes.

The ACCC has formally reauthorised an updated version of the New Energy Tech Consumer Code (NETCC) for a further five years!

The Code continues to set consumer protection standards for 2,500+ companies selling rooftop solar, home batteries, EV chargers and more. Changes to the Code will strengthen its benefits for consumers and improve the clarity and operation of the Code.

Key changes include:

✔️ Clarifying what counts as a false or misleading claim: The commitment not to make false or misleading claims extends to all statements, not just those made in advertising and promotions.

✔️ Additional quoting disclosures: Quotes must specify whether fees for pre-contract plan or design work, estimates or initial deliverables are refundable or non-refundable.

✔️ Clearer refund and termination terms: Some types of non-refundable fees may be deducted from a refund owed to a customer.

Now, we’ll begin transitioning all Approved Sellers to the updated Code, which will come into effect on 1 December 2026.

The first independent review of the NETCC program has been released, setting out key recommendations to strengthen consumer protections for rooftop solar, home batteries and new energy tech.

The NETCC Independent Rreview, conducted by PATHMAKER and grids, confirms the NETCC is playing a necessary and important role in consumer protection, providing a clear, credible and nationally consistent framework, filling important gaps not covered by other regulation and lifting standards in sales, customer disclosures and customer service.

But a lot has changed since the NETCC launch three years ago. New technologies have emerged, consumer expectations have shifted and industry practices have matured.

The review contains 10 key recommendations to ensure the NETCC remains trusted, responsive and aligned with the needs of consumers, industry and government.

The work now begins on an implementation plan that considers the review's recommendations and identifies priorities for action.

Our latest Quarterly Compliance Report for January to March 2026 is out now.

The Quarterly Compliance Report provides data and analysis on the performance of the program and how the NETCC is being enforced including:

✔️ Retailer applications to join the NETCC – we received 189 applications last quarter and rejected 7% for non-compliance with the Code or non-response.

✔️ Complaints investigations and outcomes – we received a record 251 complaints last quarter. 42 investigations from complaints and audits resulted in compliance actions.

The record number of complaints shows the value of the NETCC program as more Australians adopt new energy technologies, especially home batteries.

The program offers consumers additional protections and a channel to help resolve complaints.

The report also provides useful guidance for Approved Sellers on avoiding common compliance issues identified in audits and complaints handling.

The program will offer eligible NSW households up-front discounts and loans for home energy upgrades, including rooftop solar systems, home batteries, EV chargers and a range of other home energy improvements.

It’s a great incentive to help more NSW families and households upgrade their homes and cut their power bills.
