LGC Surrender Non-Compliance Fines
Definition
PPAs bundle LGCs with energy settlements; failure to transfer/surrender correctly triggers penalties as each MWh requires matching LGC surrender to CER.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: AUD 10 per unsurrendered LGC; AUD 5,000-50,000/year for mid-size off-takers on 500MWh+ PPAs
- Frequency: Annual CER compliance; per reporting period
- Root Cause: Manual metering and LGC allocation in settlements
Why This Matters
Wind generators expose off-takers to AUD 10,000+ annual LGC fines via settlement errors. Automation of LGC tracking and surrender ensures compliance.
