Exemption certificate data

Under the Renewable Energy Target we publish a range of data on emissions-intensive trade-exposed (EITE) activities. This includes details on exemption certificates we issue to companies to help reduce their liability for large-scale generation certificates (LGCs) and small-scale technology certificates (STCs).

This data shows details on:

• EITE entities that we issued exemption certificates
• liable entities that used exemption certificates
• activity exemption amounts (MWh).

From 2010 to 2014, we issued partial exemption certificates. Since 2015 we have issued full exemption certificates.
