About the National GreenPower Accreditation Program To support the growth of the renewable energy industry in Australia the NSW Government developed the GreenPower Accreditation Program in April 1997. The purpose of the program is to promote the installation of new GreenPower electricity generators by increasing consumer demand and confidence in accredited GreenPower products.

Due to its success, the program was expanded nationally through joint collaboration by participating state government agencies in New South Wales (NSW), Victoria (VIC), Queensland (QLD), South Australia (SA), Australian Capital Territory (ACT), Tasmania (TAS) and Western Australia (WA) and renamed the ‘National GreenPower Accreditation Program’. In May 2000, the National GreenPower Steering Group was officially established. The NSW Department of Water and Energy (DWE) is currently appointed as the GreenPower Program Manager.

The term ‘GreenPower product’ refers only to the GreenPower accredited portion of any product offered by a GreenPower provider. Most energy providers throughout Australia offer at least one accredited GreenPower product. In the contestable (deregulated) markets of NSW, VIC, SA, the ACT, QLD and TAS, all residential and commercial customers can choose to buy a GreenPower product offered by any provider licensed in that State or Territory. Larger customers in WA can also choose GreenPower from licensed providers outside their franchise area.

GreenPower products are now also offered by some companies that are not licensed energy providers. In these cases, the GreenPower provider offers an accredited GreenPower product separate to a customer’s electricity supply.

The three main types of GreenPower products offered are:

1. Consumption based products whereby customers nominate the level of GreenPower purchased according to a nominated percentage of their total electricity consumption;

2. ‘Block’ based products whereby customers purchase a kWh ‘block’ of GreenPower that is based on the average household electricity consumption and is not directly linked to an individual customer’s consumption; and

3. Purchase of GreenPower to match consumption provided by another provider. This is available nationally using web interfaces and direct sales to customers. While customers continue to purchase electricity from their standard electricity supplier, the GreenPower provider will purchase and surrender the equivalent number of GreenPower Rights and Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) from eligible generation sources to meet the customer’s elected electricity consumption.

2007 Q4 Final v1


2007 Q4 Final v1 3

Blended GreenPower products apply when a customer purchases a level of GreenPower equivalent to less than 100 per cent of their electricity consumption. The ‘backfill’ or non-accredited portion of blended products is not reported on and can therefore be sourced from any type of electricity generation. The GreenPower accredited portion of a blended product must be equivalent to at least 10 per cent of a customer’s total electricity consumption.

RULES OF THE PROGRAM The National GreenPower Accreditation Program sets stringent rules for all GreenPower providers offering an accredited GreenPower product. Two key requirements are for GreenPower providers to: source all generation included in a GreenPower product from GreenPower approved sources; and purchase at least eighty per cent of GreenPower sales from ‘new’ renewable energy generation. ‘New’ is defined as any generator built or commissioned after 1 January 1997 that is GreenPower approved.

From 1 July 2006 onwards, GreenPower providers are required to source 100 per cent of accredited GreenPower sales from 'new' GreenPower generation. For long term GreenPower sales contracts signed prior to 1 July 2006, the 100 per cent ‘new’ GreenPower requirement must be implemented as contracts are renegotiated or by 31 December 2008, whichever is earlier.

Further information on the rules of the program is available in the National GreenPower Program Rules, available on the website at www.greenpower.gov.au

To ensure that GreenPower sales are additional to legislated renewable energy purchases through the Mandatory Renewable Energy Target (MRET), providers are required to transfer and surrender eligible RECs for each MWh of generation classified as ‘new’ GreenPower generation sold as part of a GreenPower product within a settlement period.

GREENPOWER GENERATORS Under the National GreenPower Accreditation Program, a GreenPower approved generator is defined as an electricity generator that results in a greenhouse gas emission reduction and net environmental benefits; is based primarily on a renewable energy resource; and complies with the guidelines in the National GreenPower Program Rules. A description of the major generator types is provided in Appendix A.

There are currently 262 GreenPower approved generators in Australia, including 176 ‘new’ generators, which have been commissioned or first sold energy since January 1 1997. For an interactive map of GreenPower approved generators, please visit the GreenPower website at www.greenpower.gov.au

Appendix A – Major Generator Types

SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC Energy from the sun can be categorised in two ways, as heat energy (thermal energy) or as light energy.

Photovoltaics are a semiconductor-based technology which converts the sun’s light energy directly into an electrical current. Photovoltaic panels are very versatile and can be mounted in a variety of sizes and applications such as on building roofs, street lights or roadside emergency phones.

WIND TURBINES Wind turbines can be used to drive a generator to create electricity. Modern wind turbines for generating electricity usually have two or three blades (up to 45m in length) and often involve dual land use, as sheep and cattle can graze around the base of the turbines. A single wind turbine may be sufficient to power up to 500 homes. Commercial wind farms group these turbines together in one location to produce larger amounts of electricity.

HYDRO-ELECTRIC Hydro-electric power is electricity produced from the energy of falling water using dams, turbines and generators. The environmental impact of hydro-electric projects varies and only those that can be shown to be environmentally acceptable can be accredited under GreenPower.

BIOMASS Methane generated by the decomposition of biomass resources (putrescibles and green waste) in landfill sites, sewage treatment works or large scale composting can be used to generate electricity. Waste materials from agricultural enterprises such as forestry, sugar cane, winery and cotton production can also be used to generate electricity.

Such projects are considered generally suitable as GreenPower projects, but are carefully assessed by the Project Manager on a case by case basis.

A wide variety of crops could be grown specifically for energy generation including timbers, oils or complex sugars. The suitability of these crops will depend on the sustainability of the agricultural practices used. The “energy crops” industry is in its infancy in Australia.

With regard to forestry wastes, utilisation of fuels from existing forestry plantations is likely to be generally acceptable under GreenPower. However, utilisation of any materials (including wastes) from high conservation value forests such as old growth forests is not acceptable.

ENDNOTES

A ‘new’ GreenPower generator is defined as an electricity generator or increase in generator capacity, which was commissioned or first sold energy (whichever is earlier) after January 1, 1997 or after launch of the GreenPower Product (whichever is earlier)

An ‘existing’ GreenPower generator is defined as an electricity generator or increase in generator capacity which was commissioned or first sold energy (whichever is earlier) prior to January 1, 1997.
