SCA (WA) Submission on AES Exposure Draft

The Strata Community Association (WA) (SCA (WA)) welcomes the opportunity to provide a submission on the Exposure Draft Electricity Industry (Alternative Electricity Services) Regulations 2025 (AES Regulations) and the associated Reading Guide.

SCA (WA) represents strata companies, council of owners, members, strata managers and service providers across Western Australia. Our members collectively manage thousands of strata titled schemes, ranging from small legacy residential developments to large mixed‑use schemes incorporating shared sustainability infrastructure such as solar generation and battery storage.

While SCA (WA) supports the overarching policy objective of strengthening consumer protections within embedded electricity arrangements, we are concerned that the current exposure draft does not adequately account for the diversity, scale and practical realities of strata titled schemes, particularly small and medium residential developments. As currently drafted, the framework risks imposing disproportionate regulatory, legal and administrative burdens on strata companies and their owners, without delivering corresponding consumer benefits.
