Off-grid Tally
The below tally may have increased since the website was last updated.
Please note the tally can change significantly and quickly irrespective of the frequency of updating the website because of the creation of certificates for large installations.
The Clean Energy Regulator only becomes aware of these installations once these certificates have been created in the REC Registry.
The Clean Energy Regulator cannot provide advice about when the off-grid tally will be met and you should take this into consideration when you are purchasing a system.
