Solar LGCs
Large Scale Generation Certificates
LGCs are tradable certificates created for eligible large-scale renewable energy power stations. The certificates represent the amount of renewable energy generated by these facilities, and are applicable to all solar installations of 100kWp or more.
Renewable energy power stations create LGCs for each MWh of eligible renewable energy they produce.
So 1 LGC is equal to 1 megawatt-hour (MWh) of renewable electricity generated.
LGCs are issued and allocated on an ongoing basis – as apposed to STCs which are allocated as an upfront discount.
