The Renewable Energy (Electricity) Regulations 2011 were recently amended to expand eligibility for solar PV systems under the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme (SRES) from 100 kW to 1 MW.
These changes apply to eligible mid-scale solar installed from today, 1 October 2026.
Applications are expected to open in mid to late November 2026. Eligible systems installed on or after 1 October 2026 will be able to apply once applications open.
