17B Overview of Division
This Division deals with the creation of certificates, known as renewable energy certificates.
There are 2 types of renewable energy certificates:
large‑scale generation certificates, which are created in relation to the generation of electricity by accredited power stations (see Subdivision A); and
small‑scale technology certificates, which are created in relation to the installation of solar water heaters and small generation units (see Subdivisions B and BA).
Small‑scale technology certificates can also be created by the Regulator under Part 2A (clearing house for small‑scale technology certificates).
Subdivision BB requires people who create certificates under Subdivision B or BA to submit returns relating to the creation of the certificates.
Subdivision C contains offence and civil penalty provisions relating to the improper creation of certificates.
