National Smart Metering Program

The SME (Subject Matter Expert) Panel was established through an RFP (Request for Proposal) process co-ordinated by AEMO (as contracting body) in mid-2008.

 

SME Panel members will provide the Secretariat, NSSC and NSSC Working Groups with specialised input throughout the program of work. As requirements arise, the NSSC will, in the first instance, seek SMEs from the SME Panel.

 

Membership of the panel is not a guarantee of future engagement on the program of work and the NSSC reserves the right to use alternative means to identify and engage SMEs if they cannot be sourced through the SME Panel.

 

Further applications to join the SME Panel will not be formally considered by the NSSC at this stage.
