The NSW Government amended the Electricity Supply Regulation to set penalty rates for non-compliance with the Renewable Fuel Scheme (RFS) from 2025 to 2036, a move facilitating the pending implementation of the RFS in 2026. The RFS, a governmental initiative under the Energy Security Safeguard and the NSW Hydrogen Strategy, aims to incentivize green hydrogen production for net-zero emissions. Despite recent criticism of hydrogen's economics, the RFS bridges the investment-environmental gap by offering financial incentives. The scheme targets sustainable energy production, urging a reduction in gas usage and promoting green hydrogen development. With IPART overseeing implementation, end users acquiring gas and retailers supplying gas are liable, with penalties for non-compliance. Compliance involves reporting gas usage, surrendering certificates, and trading certificates to meet targets. The RFS introduces a new environmental product market where accredited providers can create and trade certificates. Failure to meet certificate targets incurs penalties, encouraging compliance with the scheme. The RFS sets key dates for reporting, publication, and compliance, outlining a structured approach to achieving sustainability in energy production.
