Connected Asset Commissioning, Testing and Information Standard Code amendment finalised

In March 2026, we sought feedback on a proposal to incorporate the Connected Asset Commissioning, Testing and Information Standard Code (CACTIS) by reference into the Electricity Industry Participation Code.

Following consideration of submissions, we refined the Code amendment to give clearer effect to the policy intent outlined in the decision paper.

These amendments:

• clarify that original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) may provide modelling information directly to the System Operator on behalf of asset owners
• strengthen protections for OEMs’ intellectual property, and
• allow distributors and direct consumers until 1 July 2027 to begin complying with the requirement to provide the System Operator with controllable load indications and measurements.
