Is an embedded power station supplying generation to an on-site end-user eligible?
Only generation directly exported to the National Electricity Market (NEM) is eligible under the Generation Rule. Therefore, if only a small component of an embedded generating system’s generation is exported directly to the NEM, only this component of generation is eligible to create abatement certificates under the Generation Rule. If, however, the remainder of the generation is supplied to an on-site end-user via a private (un-registered) network, then this generation may instead be eligible to create abatement certificates under clause 9 of the Demand Side Abatement Rule. The main proviso being, that the entitlement to create abatement certificates for the on-site component of generation is limited to that occurring in NSW. That is, interstate demand side abatement activity is not recognised under GGAS.
