March Large-scale Renewable Energy Target market data now available
The Clean Energy Regulator has released the March 2024 Large-scale Renewable Energy Target market data.
Highlights include:
Register of solar water heaters version 51 is now available
Version 51 of the register of solar water heaters came into effect on 24 April 2024 and is now available.
2023 certificate shortfall register data now available
We have updated the certificate shortfall register. This follows the 2023 assessment year surrender period for liable entities under the Renewable Energy Target (RET). This includes a list of liable entities that have incurred shortfall in all assessment years.
Act now to meet the Q1 STC surrender deadline
Liable entities must surrender their small-scale technology certificates (STCs) by the Quarter 1 (Q1) 2024 deadline of Monday 29 April 2024.
To avoid a shortfall charge of $65 per certificate not surrendered, ensure you have enough STCs to meet your certificate surrender obligations and surrender by the deadline.
The Clean Energy Regulator (CER) has no discretion to extend the surrender deadline.

Media Release: Another solar PV installer banned under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme
On 7 March 2024, the Clean Energy Regulator (CER) declared accredited solar PV installer Keng Chew ineligible under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme for 12 months.
The decision means that any solar PV systems supervised or installed by Mr Chew during this period will not be eligible to receive small-scale technology certificates (STCs).
CER General Manager of Compliance, Ms Piet Powell, said Mr Chew failed to meet the accreditation requirements of attending installations.
