Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000

This section applies to a corporation to which paragraph 51(xx) of the Constitution applies if:

a person (who may be the corporation) has:

indicated to the Commonwealth that the person believes that an activity should be made an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and

provided information to the Commonwealth in support of that belief that satisfies any requirements of regulations made for the purpose of this paragraph; and

that activity is not an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity; and

the Minister believes on reasonable grounds that the corporation has information that relates to the activity and that is likely to assist the Commonwealth with either or both of the following:

deciding whether the activity should be made an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity;

deciding how any exemption in relation to the activity should be calculated (if the activity is made an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity).

The Minister may, by written notice given to the corporation:

request the corporation to give to the Minister, within the period and in the manner and form specified in the notice, any such information; and

request that the information be accompanied by a report specified in the notice.

A period specified under subsection (2) must not be shorter than 60 days after the notice is given.

The Minister may, by written notice given to the corporation, request the corporation to give to the Minister, within the period and in the manner and form specified in the notice, any such information.

A period specified under subsection (4) must not be shorter than 30 days after the notice is given.
