Here&#8217;s why and what it means. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/reviews\/energizer-review.html\"> Energizer Homepower<\/a> batteries were launched in Australia and New Zealand in October 2020. An all-in-one system backed with a 10-year warranty, Homepower offers storage capacities of 6.1 kWh &#8211; 24.4 kWh, 3.6kW power output and blackout protection on an essential circuit. Unlike some modular systems that allow you to &#8220;stack&#8221; modules to increase storage, up to 3 Homepower sub-units can be installed side-by-side.<\/p>\n<p>It appears the Homepower has been discontinued, but it&#8217;s still CEC-listed. There could still be units kicking around in warehouses, and some businesses are indicating they are available &#8211; or just haven&#8217;t updated their websites.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, the Clean Energy Council sent out an email stating it intends to suspend Homepower inverter\/battery listings on 14 March 2025 due to non-compliance with its terms and conditions. The products facing suspension are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>HP-6M\/3S (AS4777-2 2020)<\/li>\n<li>HP-6M\/2S (AS4777-2 2020)<\/li>\n<li>HP-6M\/1S (AS4777-2 2020)<\/li>\n<li>HP-6M (AS4777-2 2020)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These listings were previously due to expire in early May this year.<\/p>\n<p>The manufacturer of these batteries is noted by the CEC as Australian company Enertek Holdings Pty Ltd, which is based in Melbourne. It&#8217;s my understanding Energizer Holdings, Inc allows licensing of its brand name for home energy storage; i.e. these systems are not manufactured by Energizer.<\/p>\n<h2>EESS And &#8220;Responsible Supplier&#8221; Issues<\/h2>\n<p>According to the CEC, there are multiple issues that have led to the proposed suspension. First, it says the importer for Enertek Holdings Pty Ltd is not EESS registered as a Responsible Supplier.<\/p>\n<p>So, what does that mean?<\/p>\n<p>EESS stands for Electrical Equipment Safety System. This is a regulatory framework focused on consumer safety in terms of household electrical equipment. It utilises the Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM) that also indicates compliance with the Australian Communications and Media Authority&#8217;s (ACMA\u2019s) labelling requirements. The RCM mark looks like so:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-90251\" src=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/rcm.png\" alt=\"Regulatory Compliance Mark (RCM)\" width=\"300\" height=\"193\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A Responsible Supplier is a legally identifiable Australian or New Zealand entity manufacturing or importing electrical equipment covered by the EESS.<\/p>\n<h2>Alleged Lack Of Documentation And Cooperation<\/h2>\n<p>Additionally, the Clean Energy Council states Enertek Holdings Pty Ltd and its importer does not maintain a website where customer documentation such as datasheets, installation manuals, safety data sheets, compatibility statements and warranty terms and conditions can be found. It looks like the battery&#8217;s &#8220;official&#8221; website with those details has been offline since around the middle of 2023; although most of those documents can still be found under the &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.energizersolar.com\/resources\/#solar-storage\">archived solar storage<\/a>&#8221; section on the Energizer Solar website.<\/p>\n<p>The CEC also claims Enertek failed to cooperate with the Clean Energy Council during its investigation.<\/p>\n<p>The organisation will provide another update if the proposed suspension does not proceed.<\/p>\n<h2>What Does A Suspended Listing Mean?<\/h2>\n<p>If you own an Energizer Homepower battery, it won&#8217;t suddenly stop working after March 14, 2025 if the CEC follows through with the suspension<sup class='endnote'><a href='https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/blog\/energizer-homepower-cec-mb3133\/#en-90246-1' id='enref-90246-1' onclick='return hhEndnotes_show(90246)'>1<\/a><\/sup>. What it does mean is new installations of these batteries won&#8217;t be eligible for state incentive programs where a current CEC listing is required. It also means a Distributed Network Service Provider (DNSP) may not allow a new installation to be connected.<\/p>\n<p>The Clean Energy Council has reminded the industry:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Installers, designers and retailers are reminded to check the Clean Energy Council product lists before installing PV modules, inverters and batteries to ensure they are eligible for small-scale technology certificates (STCs) and other program and network requirements.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Thinking about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarquotes.com.au\/battery-storage\/comparison-table\/\">solar batteries<\/a>?
