Whether you generate electricity to feed into the national electricity grid, for use by a business or factory, or for consumption within the power station itself—you are eligible to apply for large-scale generation certificates.
To participate under the Large-scale Renewable Energy Target, power stations must generate electricity from eligible natural resources such as the sun, wind, ocean waves and the tide, geothermal-aquifers, wood waste, agricultural waste, bagasse (sugar cane waste), black liquor (a by-product of the paper-making process), or landfill gas.
Renewable energy power stations that operate in the national electricity market (NEM) must use NEM standard metering. If a power station is not in the NEM it must use approved metering that allows the Clean Energy Regulator to determine the amount of eligible electricity generated by the power station.
