Electricity Feed-in (Large-scale Renewable Energy Generation) Act 2011

This section applies if—

a large renewable energy generator in relation to which a FiT entitlement is granted is connected to the interconnected national electricity system; and

the FiT support payment for the holder of the FiT entitlement for a period is a positive amount.

The ACT electricity distributor must pay the holder of the FiT entitlement FiT support payments for the holder’s eligible electricity for the period—

in arrears; and

within 30 days after the day the holder gives the ACT electricity distributor any information reasonably required by the distributor to work out the FiT support payment; and

in the way (if any) prescribed by regulation.

An amount owing under a law may be recovered as a debt in a court of competent jurisdiction or the ACAT (see Legislation Act, s 177).

However, if it is a condition of a holder’s FiT entitlement that there is a maximum quantity of a holder’s eligible electricity, in a financial year, in relation to which the holder is entitled to be paid a FiT support payment, the ACT electricity distributor need not pay the holder an amount in relation to electricity generated in excess of the maximum quantity in a financial year.
