Response to Reports on the Accrual of Green Energy Certificates

Two reports on the accrual of Renewable Obligation Certificates (ROCs), Levy Exemption Certificates (LECs) and Renewable Energy Guarantee of Origin (REGOs) were published in 2005.

The first report focuses primarily on the technical and administrative difficulties faced by microgenerators wanting to claim these green energy certificates. The report is available below:

Many of the ideas proposed in this report have now been implemented. The Government response to the report was published in February 2008 and can be seen below:

The second report contained detailed proposals for a scheme to enable microgenerators to claim ROCs on the basis of pre-determined estimates of output, rather than meter data. The report is available below:
