Distributed energy expert and consultant Jon Sibley discovered that Tesla has registered with AEMO (the mob that co-ordinate the electric grid in Australia) to become a "Market Customer", one of the main steps in becoming an energy retailer. According to Jon, "one option is Tesla becoming the FRMP for its large-scale battery and public charging assets. Tesla would need to also register as a scheduled generator for large-scale battery purposes (noting IRP changes could change AEMO's registration definitions). Another more interesting option is Tesla becoming an electricity retailer to sell energy services directly to end customers, potentially with a EaaS/MaaS angle".
