Electricity Supply (General)

Amendment (Solar Bonus Scheme)

Regulation 2010

under the

Electricity Supply Act 1995

Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Electricity Supply Act 1995.

PAUL LYNCH, MP Minister for Energy

Explanatory note
The object of this Regulation is to prescribe a transition day for the purposes of the solar bonus scheme. That scheme allows small retail electricity customers to receive a credit for the gross amount of electricity produced by the customer using a complying solar or wind generator. This Regulation will enable certain small retail customers of Integral Energy, Country Energy or EnergyAustralia who have net feed-in generators (rather than complying generators) to continue to receive, up until the transition day of 1 July 2011, a credit for the net electricity supplied by the customer (that is, for electricity supplied in excess of that being used by the customer).

This Regulation is made under the Electricity Supply Act 1995, including section 191 (the general regulation-making power) and the definition of transition day in clause 61 (5) of Schedule 6.
