The Renewable Energy Target is an Australian Government scheme designed to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases in the electricity sector and encourage the additional generation of electricity from sustainable and renewable sources.
The Clean Energy Regulator administers the Renewable Energy Target's two schemes: the Large-scale Renewable Energy Target and the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme.
Companies who conduct eligible emissions-intensive trade-exposed (EITE) activities are encouraged to prepare for 2020 exemption certificate applications under the Renewable Energy Target (RET).
