New protocols and policies are coming to streamline the application process for new power generation and storage capacity solutions on the island, says Minister of Energy and Business Senator Lisa Cummins.Speaking in the Senate on Wednesday during the debate on the Electric Light and Power (Amendment) Bill 2022, Cummins said the previous version of the bill had not kept pace with the green energy transformation on the island. She said the new amendment seeks to provide an open and transparent process for individuals and companies seeking to delve into the growing power generation and storage capacity sectors.She explained that the new bill makes provisions to cover: “The generation systems that are a part of, or connected to the public grid; the generation system of licences, and the renewable energy generation systems that are a part of, or connected to the public grid. Each type of renewable generation system is classified according to the source of renewable energy utilised.”
