Application for the Redistribution of 2008 WCMG Limits between Accredited Power Stations

Who can apply

A nominated person may apply to the Regulator to have the 2008 WCMG limit varied for a year for an accredited power station under the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 (the Act) and Regulation 20FC of the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Regulations 2001 (the Regulations). Regulation 20FC states:

1. 
   The Regulator may vary the 2008 WCMG limit for a year for 2 or more accredited power stations if:
   

1. 
   the nominated person for each power station makes an application to the Regulator, in the manner set out in subregulation (3), to vary the 2008 WCMG limits for the power stations; and
   
2. 
   at least one certificate has been created in relation to electricity generated by each power station using waste coal mine gas; and
   
3. 
   after considering the applications, the Regulator considers that the 2008 WCMG limits should be varied for the year.
   

2. 
   However, the variation must not increase the combined total of the 2008 WCMG limits of the power stations.
   
3. 
   Each application for the variation of the 2008 WCMG limit of 2 or more power stations for a year:
   

1. 
   must be in writing in a form approved by the Regulator; and
   
2. 
   must be given to the Regulator by the nominated person no later than 30 September in the previous year; and
   
3. 
   must identify the power stations and the proposed change to the 2008 WCMG limit for each power station; and
   
4. 
   must include, or be accompanied by, any other information or document required by the approved form.
   

4. 
   The Regulator must not make a variation unless each application identifies the same power stations and the same proposed change to the 2008 WCMG limit for each power station.
