Large-Scale Generation Certificates (LGC's)

What Are LGCs and How Do They Benefit You?

If you’re looking into large-scale solar projects, you might come across the term LGC or Large-scale Generation Certificate. Let’s break down what LGCs are and how they can benefit you in a straightforward way.

What Are LGCs?

Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs) are part of Australia’s Renewable Energy Target (RET) scheme. They are designed to encourage the generation of renewable energy on a larger scale, such as through big solar farms or large-scale solar installations.

How Do LGCs Work?

Here’s a simple explanation of how LGCs operate:

#1 Generate LGCs

When you install a large-scale solar system, it produces renewable energy. For each megawatt-hour (MWh) of clean electricity generated, your system earns one LGC.

#2 Trade LGCs

These certificates can be traded or sold to energy companies. They are bought as proof that renewable energy has been generated and helps energy companies meet their renewable energy targets.

#3 Receive Benefits

The revenue from selling LGCs can help offset the cost of your solar system. This makes large-scale solar projects more financially viable and can provide additional financial support for your investment.

Why LGCs Matter ?

Support for Renewable Energy

LGCs help promote the growth of renewable energy projects. By participating in the LGC scheme, you contribute to Australia’s transition to cleaner energy sources.

Financial Benefits

Selling LGCs provides a source of income that can reduce the overall cost of your solar project. This helps make large-scale solar investments more attractive and affordable.

Government Incentives

The LGC program is part of the Australian government’s commitment to increasing renewable energy generation. It provides financial incentives that support the development and expansion of large-scale solar projects.

How to Access LGCs ?

If you’re working with Switchtec Electrical & Solar Solutions on a large-scale solar project, we’ll handle the LGC process for you. We’ll ensure that your system generates the appropriate number of LGCs, manage their sale, and apply the financial benefits to your project. You get the benefits without the administrative burden!
