Plain-language summary
Written by a model from the explanatory memorandum; not the record, as at 2022-02-14.

It works by adding home batteries to the list of technologies that can create small-scale technology certificates under the existing renewable energy scheme.
Home batteries would create certificates for 15 years, but only if installed by 2030.
- Adds home batteries as an eligible technology for small-scale technology certificates.
- Extends the existing scheme for creating and trading certificates to cover home batteries.
- Requires a ministerial review of the scheme's operation, with a final report due by 1 January 2029.
Householders and small businesses that install home batteries.
