Jemena
Jemena distributes across Melbourne's north-west. Its installer work runs through its own portal, and like every Victorian network it connects systems into the state's emergency backstop arrangements.
What they assess
- Installer portal
- Applications are submitted and managed by installers through Jemena's portal on the customer's behalf.
- Backstop applies after connection
- Connected systems sit within an arrangement allowing generation to be remotely reduced or switched off on market-operator direction during an emergency.
Where it snags
The emergency backstop is the question customers ask after the sale, not before it. Being able to explain that curtailment is a network-wide arrangement rather than a fault in their system saves the call-back. Jemena — solar connections

Confirm the distributor from the bill, NMI record or connection approval before relying on this page. Embedded networks, remote grids and private networks may use a different authority. The connection offer and the site-specific approval override anything general, here or on the distributor’s own site. Reviewed 2026-08-08.
