The NEM is an interconnected network with electricity flowing continuously around it with any non-renewable electricity drawn by the ACT grid from NSW being fully offset, by 2020-21 (the 100% renewable electricity target year), by renewable electricity generated into the NEM by feed-in tariff supported generators located elsewhere in it.

The generation from the ACT’s feed-in tariff supported solar farms is fed directly into the ACT grid. Their output in each financial year is listed below.

Energy—generation capacity
(Question No 1321)

Mr Coe asked the Minister for Climate Change and Sustainability, upon notice, on 13 April 2018:

(1) What is the generation capacity of each of the generators that (a) currently hold or (b) will hold feed-in tariff entitlements.

(2) What was the (a) total electricity generation for each of the generators that currently hold feed-in tariff entitlements and (b) total paid for the electricity generated by generators that currently hold feed-in tariff entitlements, as per question on notice No 984, in the (a) 2013-14, (b) 2014-15, (c) 2015-16, (d) 2016-17 and (e) 2017-18 to date, financial years.

(3) What was the total ACT electricity consumption during the (a) 2007-08, (b) 2008-09, (c) 2009-10, (d) 2010-11, (e) 2011-12, (f) 2012-13, (g) 2013-14, (h) 2014-15, (i) 2015-16, (j) 2016-17 and (k) 2017-18 to date, financial years.

Mr Rattenbury: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) The capacities of the generators that have commenced feed-in tariff supported generation are given in answer 1319 part (1); the capacities of the generators that have yet to commence feed-in tariff supported generation are given in answer 1319 part (2).

(2) Table, below, shows generation by generators that have commenced feed-in tariff supported generation.
