What does STC stand for on the Northmore Gordon glossary page?
STC stands for Small-scale Technology Certificate, defined under the Australian Renewable Energy Target.
Under which Australian scheme are STCs created and used?
STCs are part of the Small-scale Renewable Energy Scheme, which governs the creation and use of STCs for small-scale renewable energy systems within Australia's Renewable Energy Target.
What types of renewable energy systems can create STCs?
Eligible systems include solar photovoltaic (PV) systems—with capacity eligibility expanding from 100 kW to 1 MW as of 1 October 2026, subject to regulations being made—and small-scale battery systems that meet specified conditions.
Are STCs interchangeable with other certificate types like LGCs?
No. STCs belong to their own programme with distinct eligibility, creation and use rules, and should not be treated as interchangeable incentives with other certificate types such as Large-scale Generation Certificates (LGCs) or Energy Savings Certificates (ESCs).
What should be verified before relying on STCs for a project?
Before relying on STCs, one should confirm the installation date (since an announced eligibility expansion doesn't prove a proposed system already qualifies), check system-specific conditions (e.g., for battery systems versus solar-only descriptions), and verify scheme participation rules regarding which entity controls the certificates.
Where can live Australian certificate prices, including STCs, be found via Northmore Gordon?
Live AU Certificate Prices are available at northmoregordon.com/certificate-prices/, and Small-scale Technology Certificates are also referenced on the certificates page at /certificates/#small-scale-technology-certificates-stcs.
What is Northmore Gordon's business focus?
Northmore Gordon is described as an Energy Efficiency Consultancy Company.
How can someone contact Northmore Gordon in Australia regarding certificates?
Northmore Gordon can be contacted in Australia at 1300 854 561 (Advisory) or 1300 878 500 (Certificates), with a Melbourne office at Suite 1, Level 4, 607 Bourke Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000.
