PowerAID™ and the NEM Governance Reform Green Paper: Turning Policy into Practice

The recently released NEM Governance Reform Green Paper (July 2025) sets out the future direction for Australia’s electricity system. It identifies critical opportunities to improve how we balance supply- and demand-side resources, with a strong call for:

1️⃣ Better integration of demand-side innovation to complement supply-side strength

2️⃣ Improved data, research and modelling to inform smarter decisions

3️⃣ Greater consumer and community engagement in shaping outcomes

At Felicity Smart Infrastructure, we see these as the very areas where PowerAID™ is already delivering real-world impact.

• Integration in action: By turning streetlighting into a dynamic, adaptive demand-side asset, PowerAID™ helps councils optimise energy use without compromising safety.

  
  

• Data-driven decisions: Real-time insights from lighting networks give utilities and councils the evidence they need to manage costs, efficiency, and compliance.

  
  

• Community benefits: Safer streets, reduced emissions, and lower costs make Intelligent Dimming a visible and trusted innovation.

  
  
  
  

PowerAID™ deployments in Australia, New Zealand and the UK demonstrate that the Green Paper’s vision isn’t just theoretical.

It’s practical, scalable, and already underway.

As governance reform moves forward, PowerAID™ stands ready to support councils, DNSPs and communities in building a more balanced, intelligent and adaptive energy future.
