The NSW Government has announced two reviews of renewable energy policy at its recent Solar and Renewable Energy Summit.


The NSW government has asked the Independent Pricing and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) to review a future price for household-generated solar energy. The review will also examine any economic gains being made by retailers under the Solar Bonus Scheme that could be distributed to assist with Scheme funding.

The NSW government also announced a Solar and Renewable Energy Action Plan to guide NSW's renewable energy development. It aims at outlining how NSW can meet a renewable energy target of 20% by 2020.

The Plan will be informed by the outcomes of the Solar and Renewable Energy Summit, and community consultation.

 

The draft Solar and Renewable Energy Action Plan will be available soon at the NSW Solar and Renewable Energy Summit website.

Written submissions can be made until Sunday, 31 July 2011.
