Under the National Electricity Rules, failing to maintain a compliance program consistent with the AEMC's Compliance Template isn't a paperwork problem — it's a Tier 1 civil penalty provision, the most serious category in the framework. For a corporation, that exposure runs up to $10 million. The fines the AER has levied over the last 5 years act as a reminder that the AER is prepared to use the full reach of that power when performance standards aren't met. Now the bar is mo

Managing GPS compliance for one renewable asset is hard. Managing ten across solar, wind, BESS and hybrid is exponentially harder — and in-house tools rarely keep up as portfolios grow, change hands, and diversify. Each project carries different metering, SCADA, and registered GPS. COMET gives asset owners one dashboard, one system of record, and one answer: which plant needs attention today?

A firmware update can fundamentally alter a battery's frequency response or a wind farm's voltage control - without any physical changes. Yet many Generator Compliance Plans (GCP) barely address software change management. Modern IBR plant is increasingly software-defined. What's impossible for synchronous plant - changing performance characteristics without hardware modifications - is routine for inverters. Software & firmware changes affecting GPS compliance should be verif

When a GPS breach becomes a reportable incident, the damage is already done—to your operations, your reputation, and potentially your bottom line. Traditional compliance approaches wait for problems to surface. Manual reviews happen weeks or months after events. By then, you're managing consequences, not preventing them. COMET transforms GPS compliance from reactive to proactive. Our platform continuously monitors your plant performance, identifying potential non-compliance b

After monitoring 3GW+ across Australia, we strongly believe that effective GPS compliance programs rest on four pillars: 1. Monitoring – Continuous automated performance tracking. Catches issues early. 2. Testing – Validates edge conditions. Essential, but complementary to monitoring. 3. Modelling – Periodic validation that models match reality. Critical for investigations. 4. Reporting – Proactive status updates, not reactive record-keeping. A testing-centric framework no lo
