Variation to electricity generation licence
On 4 October 2023, the Commission received a variation request from LMS Energy Pty Ltd. The applicant seeks a variation to remove the following generator, listed as Location 3 in the Annexure of its current licence:
The solar generating plant consisting of 1,054 PVC395 MP Caterpillar photovoltaic panels with a maximum export limit of 199kW, located at Gillman.
In assessing an electricity generation licence variation application, the Commission considers the application against the relevant licensing provisions set out in the Electricity Act 1996. It will also have regard to its primary objective under the Essential Services Commission Act 2002 (ESC Act), being the protection of the long-term interests of South Australian consumers with respect to the price, quality and reliability of essential services, and other factors as they apply to the Commission's role as an economic regulator of the South Australian electricity industry.
In making its assessment, the Commission considers advice from the Office of the Technical Regulator. Matters related to health and environment protection are regulated under separate legislative frameworks.
The application is subject to a public consultation period closing on 17 November 2023. The Commission welcomes submissions on any matters relevant to the application.
