Electricity Supply Act 1995

A person who, immediately before the commencement of the energy savings scheme, was an accredited abatement certificate provider under Part 8A in respect of a demand side abatement activity, or an applicant for accreditation under Part 8A in respect of a demand side abatement activity, is eligible for accreditation as a certificate provider under the energy savings scheme in respect of that activity if—

the activity is a recognised energy saving activity, and

the Scheme Administrator under Part 9 is satisfied the person is otherwise eligible for accreditation as a certificate provider in respect of the activity concerned under Part 9.

A person to whom this clause applies is eligible for accreditation in respect of an activity and, on accreditation, may create energy savings certificates in respect of an activity, even if the activity commenced before 1 July 2008 (despite section 127 (5)).

The Scheme Administrator under Part 9 may grant such accreditation without requiring the person to apply for accreditation under Part 9.

If the person is engaged in an industry or activity that benefits from a full exemption under the energy savings scheme, or is a related body corporate of a person who is so engaged, the Scheme Administrator may grant accreditation to the person as a certificate provider in respect of an activity that reduces consumption of electricity in the industry or activity concerned (despite section 135) subject to a condition that the person must not create energy savings certificates in respect of the relevant activity if the activity commences on or after 1 January 2013.

Section 171 (Administrative reviews by Civil and Administrative Tribunal) does not apply in respect of the condition of accreditation referred to in subclause (4).
