(2)  The Regulator may determine the total amount of outstanding renewable energy shortfall charge related liabilities that the person had at the time of death. The exempted electricity load rose from 84.7 TWh to 97 TWh, a relatively modest increase due to the smaller sizes of the newly exempted firms. Found insideThis book outlines how Germans convinced their politicians to pass laws allowing citizens to make their own energy, even when it hurt utility companies to do so. The support for onshore wind improved.                      (b)  a large‑scale generation shortfall statement has not previously been lodged, and an assessment of large‑scale generation shortfall charge has not previously been made, for the assessment year in relation to the liable entity. Subdivision A—Large‑scale generation shortfall charge, 47  First large‑scale generation shortfall statement taken to be assessment of large‑scale generation shortfall charge,                      (a)  a liable entity lodges a large‑scale generation shortfall statement for a year (the assessment year); and.              (3)  If the liable entity wishes to claim an exemption for the assessment year, the statement must be accompanied by:                      (a)  a copy of each exemption certificate issued to the liable entity for the assessment year in relation to an emissions‑intensive trade‑exposed activity carried on by the liable entity during the year; and. [33] The Commission nonetheless accepted that the underlying feed-in tariff and market premium schemes were compliment.                      (d)  be signed by or on behalf of the applicant.              (3)  Before the Governor‑General makes a regulation under subsection (1) specifying the small‑scale technology percentage for a year (the current year), the Minister must take into consideration:                      (a)  the estimated value, in MWh, of small‑scale technology certificates that will be created in the current year under Subdivisions B and BA of Division 4 of Part 2; and,                      (b)  the amount estimated as the amount of electricity that will be acquired under relevant acquisitions during the current year; and,                      (c)  the amount estimated as the amount of all exemptions that will be claimed for the current year; and. [d][79] Rapid development of the grid is being driven by the uptake of renewables and the phase-out of nuclear power.                      (b)  the entry is made under a monitoring warrant. 46E  No exemption certificates to be issued to corporation for 5 years if Minister’s request not complied with,                      (a)  a corporation is given a request under subsection 46D(2) or (4) at a particular time (the request time); and,                      (b)  the corporation is capable of complying with the request; and,                      (c)  the corporation refuses or fails to comply with the request; and. 79  Joint liability of 2 or more liquidators. The renewable energy sector was aided initially by the Renewable Energy Sources Act that promotes renewable energy mainly by stipulating feed-in tariffs and recently also market premiums that grid operators must pay for renewable energy fed into the power grid; these premiums were reduced under governments without Green party participation.              (1)  The regulations must establish a scheme for the inspection of the installation of small generation units for which certificates have been created. Subdivision B—Annual renewable energy shortfall statements, 46  Annual renewable energy shortfall statements.              (1)  If a monitoring warrant is being executed and the occupier of the warrant premises, or another person who apparently represents the occupier, is present at the premises, the person is entitled to observe the execution of the warrant.              (1)  A liable entity cannot surrender a large‑scale generation certificate for a year under this Subdivision unless:                      (a)  the certificate was created before the end of the year; and.              (3)  A person commits an offence if: Note:          Chapter 2 of the Criminal Code sets out the general principles of criminal responsibility and Chapter 3 of the Criminal Code contains general principles relating to penalties.              (3)  If the Regulator creates a certificate under subsection (2):                      (a)  the certificate is valid; and. [19]: 221  Flexible degression rates were also introduced, which can now be adjusted without reference to the Bundestag. The Economics Ministry and the CDU/CSU and FDP parties opposed non-market measures and argued for voluntary renewables quotas instead.        (3AA)  In determining whether a certificate is eligible for registration, the Regulator must have regard to any relevant: set out in a report of an inspection carried out in accordance with regulations made under subsection 23AAA(1).                      (b)  the power station satisfies any prescribed requirements. by No. Division 5—Form and registration of certificates, 25  Form and content of large‑scale generation certificates.              (4)  The warrant must:                      (a)  authorise one or more authorised officers (whether or not named in the warrant), with such assistance and by such force as is necessary and reasonable:                               (i)  to enter the premises; and,                              (ii)  to exercise the powers set out in section 111 in relation to the premises; and,                      (b)  state whether the entry is authorised to be made at any time of the day or during specified hours of the day; and,                      (c)  specify the day (not more than 6 months after the issue of the warrant) on which the warrant ceases to have effect; and.                      (b)  if one or more approvals have been given under that section in relation to the power station—the last person so approved.                    Criminal proceedings may be started against a person for conduct that is substantially the same as conduct constituting a contravention of a civil penalty provision regardless of whether a civil penalty order has been made against the person. Yet despite expectations, renewable generation came to account for 27.4% of gross electricity consumption in 2014[11]: 4  and seriously threatened the business model of the incumbents.              (2)  The Regulator may do so on his or her own initiative or upon application by the nominated person for the accredited power station. Note:          A defendant bears an evidential burden in relation to the matter in subsection (2), see subsection 13.3(3) of the Criminal Code. Originally published on December 8, 2011.              (3)  A certificate issued under subsection (1) is not a legislative instrument.                      (b)  be made before 1 October in the assessment year.              (3)  Subject to subsection (4), the identified certificates are taken to be surrendered when the additional surrender notice is lodged. German Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) passed in 2000 is widely regarded as successful legislation for promot-ing bioenergy development. The EEG 2014[2] specified the transition to an auction system for most technologies which has been finished with the current version EEG 2017.[3]. The tariff cuts were up to 30%, with the tariff cuts scheduled in the EEG (2012) for 1 July 2012 advanced and tightened from their original 15%. [14]: 10 [21] The remuneration for photovoltaics was simply too little in most settings.                    The Minister may, by legislative instrument, determine that an emerging renewable energy technology be included as a renewable energy technology for the purpose of the scheme constituted by this Act. [74], A 2008 economics study by RWI Essen was hugely critical of the high levels of feed-in support afforded photovoltaics.              (2)  The return must include details of:                      (a)  the amount of electricity generated by the power station during the year; and,                      (b)  the amount of that electricity that was generated using eligible energy sources; and,                      (c)  the number of certificates created during the year in respect of the electricity generated by the power station during the year; and,                     (ca)  the number of certificates created during the year in respect of any electricity generated by the power station during the previous year; and. nominated person, for an accredited power station, means:                      (a)  if no approvals have been given under section 30B in relation to the power station—the person who made the application for accreditation; or.                      (b)  be made before the end of the assessment year. On a drive through eastern Germany, you would have to be blind to not …              (4)  If the Minister is considering a matter mentioned in paragraph (3)(a), the Minister must obtain, and take into consideration, independent advice about that matter. This share grew to 7.3 percent in 2020. 112  Authorised officer may request or require persons to answer questions etc.                    After the end of each year, the Regulator must give the Minister a report on the working of this Act during the year for presentation to the Parliament. A 'green power privilege' (Grünstromprivileg) was introduced, which exempted electricity suppliers with a minimum quota of renewables from the EEG surcharge under certain circumstances.              (7)  If the assessment year’s reduced acquisitions exceed the amount determined by more than the prescribed percentage of the amount determined, then:                      (a)  subsection (6) does not apply; and. 1978: The Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act (PURPA P.L.                      (b)  the regulations. 89, 2011. s. 133................................... s. 134................................... s. 135................................... s. 137................................... s. 138................................... s. 139................................... s. 140................................... s. 141................................... s. 147................................... am.              (2)  If the regulations do not prescribe a percentage for the year starting on 1 January 2012 or a later year, the small‑scale technology percentage for that year is the rate worked out using the formula: certificate value for previous year is the total value, in MWh, of small‑scale technology certificates created in the previous year.              (2)  An entry of an authorised officer by virtue of the consent of a person is not lawful unless the person voluntarily consented to the entry.                      (b)  in any other case—within 4 years from the day on which the assessment is made; amend the assessment by making any alterations or additions that the Regulator thinks necessary to correct the assessment. The amendment history in endnote 4 provides information about amendments at the provision (generally section or equivalent) level. PURPA requires that utilities interconnect renewable energy projects to the grid.              (1)  This section applies, in relation to the first, second or third quarter (the relevant quarter) of the assessment year, if:                      (a)  for any reason, the liable entity did not lodge an energy acquisition statement for the previous year before 1 April in the assessment year; and,                               (i)  the liable entity did not make an application under section 38AG before the end of the assessment year in relation to the relevant quarter; or. Division 6 deals with the procedure for obtaining, and the nature of, monitoring warrants. Remuneration was based on the averted costs faced by the energy utilities, yielding low rates and unattractive investment conditions.              (3)  The Regulator must cause to be served on the liable entity written notice of the Regulator’s objection decision. The EEG has generally been regarded as a success. The biomass tariff system itself was greatly simplified, with now four size categories and two fuel categories.              (3)  The liable entity must specify the charge year in respect of which the large‑scale generation certificates are being surrendered. Subject Energy Keyword Basic legislation Energy conservation/energy production Renewable energy Geographical area Europe, European Union …                      (c)  other material; that is or are relevant to the performance of the functions, or the exercise of the powers, conferred on the Regulator by section 26.                      (b)  the Regulator is satisfied that some or all of the proposed components of the system would, if assembled, be a power station for the purposes of this Act; the Regulator must, by written notice given to the applicant:                      (c)  specify which of those proposed components (the provisional components) would, if assembled, be a power station for the purposes of this Act; and.                       (f)  any other information that the Regulator considers appropriate.
