Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000

Subject to subsection (3), the Regulator must decide an application that is properly made under section 13 within:

the period of 6 weeks beginning on the day the Regulator received the application; or

if, before the end of that period, the Regulator and applicant agree to a longer period—that longer period.

If the Regulator has not decided the application within the period applicable under subsection (1), the Regulator is taken, at the end of that period, to have made a decision under section 15 refusing the application.

If an application that is properly made under section 13 lists eligible WCMG as an eligible energy source from which power is intended to be generated, the Regulator must decide the application before the end of the period of 6 months starting on the day referred to in subsection 13(2A).

If the Regulator does not decide the application on or before that day, the Regulator is taken, on the following day, to have made a decision under section 15 refusing the application.
