By 31 December 2012, a total of 310 EGRs were received for the 2011 generation year, with the expected number of EGRs being 337. Assessments of the EGRs continued throughout the 2012 calendar year. All EGRs were completed and the power stations’ primary contacts were informed of the outcome of the assessment. The remaining 27 EGRs are not expected to be lodged due to various reasons including:
- the power stations are no longer in operation (decommissioned)
- the companies have requested that that their power stations be removed from the accreditation list, or
- the power stations are not able to be contacted.
By 31 December 2012, a total of 293 SWH/SGURs were received for the 2011 compliance period. All completed SWH/SGURs received were assessed, with confirmation of the assessment provided by the Clean Energy Regulator to the relevant company contact.
