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

For this Act, the capacity, of a generating system, is the maximum power, expressed in megawatts, that can be delivered by the system at the point where it connects to the interconnected national electricity system.

However, if the Minister makes a determination under subsection (3), the capacity of the system is the capacity worked out in accordance with the determined method.

The Minister may determine a method for measuring the capacity of a system that generates electricity using a renewable energy source.

Also, for a system that generates electricity using a renewable energy source and a non-renewable energy source, the Minister may determine a method for working out the part of the system that generates electricity using a renewable energy source.

A determination is a disallowable instrument.
