Electricity Feed-in (Renewable Energy Premium) Percentage Determination 2010 (No 1)
Disallowable instrument DI2010–43
made under the 
Electricity Feed-in (Renewable Energy Premium) Act 2008. 
Section 9 (Determination of percentages)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

The Electricity Feed-in (Renewable Energy Premium) Act 2008 is an Act to encourage the installation of small scale renewable energy generation in the ACT.

The determination under section 9 of the Act is a disallowable instrument which must be notified, and presented to the Legislative Assembly, under the Legislation Act 2001. 

The purpose of this determination is to set the percentage for section 8 (Payment for electricity from renewable energy generators) to 100% for generators of more than 10 kilowatts (kW) but not more than 30 kW in total capacity. 

This replaces the 80% percentage that was applied to the Premium for generators of this size. 

Generators of this size with contracts signed between 1 March 2009 and 30 June 2010 will still be paid at 80% of the Premium that applied at the time when the contract was signed.
