Activities authorised by a research and demonstration licence
50 Activities authorised by a research and demonstration licence
A research and demonstration licence authorises the licence holder to construct, install, commission, operate, maintain and decommission offshore renewable energy infrastructure or offshore electricity transmission infrastructure in the licence area, so long as:
there is a management plan for the licence; and
the construction, installation, commissioning, operation, maintenance or decommissioning is carried out in accordance with the management plan and the conditions of the licence; and
the licence holder is in compliance with sections 117 and 118 (financial security).
The rights conferred on the licence holder by this section are subject to this Act.
To avoid doubt, electricity stored, transmitted or conveyed under a research and demonstration licence need not be a renewable energy product.
