As the ERF reaches a key milestone, Clean Energy Regulator chief executive David Parker says industrial companies are becoming much more engaged in the scheme, and important enhancements are on the way.
The large and small-scale renewable energy schemes and the ERF performed well in 2020, and all signs point to more good results this year, according to the Clean Energy Regulator.
There are a large number of new solar and wind farms in the pipeline, plenty more ERF projects on the way, and a "surge in demand" for the certificates and credits they create, according to new data from the Clean Energy Regulator.
The Clean Energy Regulator has set up a special unit to fast-track the development of new methods for earning carbon credits, says the agency's chair, David Parker.
Of the two types of carbon contract on offer at tomorrow's ERF auction, only one is likely to see a noticeable price increase, according to Market Advisory Group founder Raphael Wood.
The Clean Energy Regulator has almost 100 new ERF projects seeking accreditation, while grid connection problems have led it to qualify expectations that the 2020 RET target will be met.
