Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000

A registered person may apply to the Regulator for accreditation, as an accredited power station, of the components of an electricity generation system that the person considers are a single power station if the person:

operates those components (whether alone or together with one or more other persons); or

owns all, or a part, of those components (whether alone or together with one or more other persons).

The application must:

be made in a form and manner required by the Regulator; and

specify those components of the system that the applicant considers are a single power station; and

specify each other person (if any) who:

operates those components (whether alone or together with one or more other persons); or

owns all, or a part, of those components (whether alone or together with one or more other persons); and

list:

the eligible energy sources from which power is intended to be generated; and

the estimated average annual output of each source listed under subparagraph (i); and

contain any other information required by the Regulator; and

be accompanied by any documents required by the Regulator; and

be accompanied by the fee (if any) prescribed by the regulations for the making of applications for accreditation; and

be accompanied by a statement in writing from each other person (if any) specified under paragraph (baa) indicating that the other person agrees to the making of the application.

An application that lists eligible WCMG as an eligible energy source from which power is intended to be generated cannot be made after the day prescribed by the regulations for the purpose of this subsection.

The Regulator must enter details of the application on the register of applications for accredited power stations.
