Who is eligible to apply for accreditation for a generating system?
Under the Generation Rule, the ‘Generator’ for any category of generating system (A, B, C or D) and the ‘Deemed Retailer’ (for Category A generating systems only) are the persons eligible to apply for accreditation. Essentially, the ‘Generator’, as defined in clause 6.2.1 of the Generation Rule, is either the person registered with the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO – formerly NEMMCO) as the Generator or Intermediary for that generating system, or if no such person is registered, the owner of the Generating System. However, in the case of Category A generating systems the ‘Deemed Retailer’ (as defined in clause 6.3.1 of the Generation Rule) is also eligible to apply for accreditation. Additionally, a person may be nominated (to the satisfaction of the Scheme Administrator) by the respective Generator or Deemed Retailer identified above. In this case, the nominated party is then entitled to apply for accreditation. Refer to the Guide to Applying – Generation Rule for examples o
