documentasset: Waste coal mine gas eligibility sheet

Complete the waste coal mine gas (WCMG) eligibility sheet in supplement to the 'Application for Accreditation of a Power Station', if waste coal mine gas is used as a fuel source in the power station.

Documentasset: LGC Methodology Builder

This Excel-based tool simplifies the process of formulating an appropriate large-scale generation certificate (LGC) methodology for non-complex power stations. Nominated persons can use this tool for developing LGC methodologies at accreditation, for power station component variations and for temporary variations. This tool is only available in excel so we recommend using it via desktop. This tool may be subject to updates based on user feedback.

Information and documentary requirements of a ‘properly made’ application

These checklists specify the information and documentary requirements for a properly made application for power station accreditation under s13(2) of the Act. Applications for power station accreditation submitted through the REC Registry containing the information and document requirements set out in these checklists can proceed directly to fee payment and then will be considered as ‘properly made’.

Webinars

Participating in the Large-scale Renewable Energy Target webinar

As the popularity of commercial-size solar panel systems increases, more system owners may be attracted to the benefits of generating renewable electricity.

Depending on the size of the system, owners of commercial-sized installations may be eligible to participate in either the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme or the Large-scale Renewable Energy Target. All businesses who are considering installing solar systems are encouraged to research which scheme under the Renewable Energy Target is right for them.

This webinar discusses options under both schemes with a particular focus on requirements for the Large-scale Renewable Energy Target.
