STCs and LGCs
Owners of a solar power system over 100kW are considered to be an electricity generator. Under the Renewable Energy Target, in addition to STCs, power generators are also required to surrender a set number of Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs). LGCs can only be generated by commercial and utility-scale renewable energy generation systems (such as solar power systems) over 100kW in capacity that have undergone an accreditation process to produce them.
An important difference between STCs and LGCs is that LGCs are produced on an ongoing basis after the system is accredited, installed, and producing power. Large-scale generators therefore provide an ongoing revenue stream for their operators. As with STCs, an LGC is a tradable unit that acts as a currency for renewable energy, and prices therefore fluctuate with supply and demand.
