To create an ESC from energy savings that occurred during a calendar year, you need to apply for registration by 30 June of the following year (refer to your method guide to determine when the energy savings occurred).

Please apply using TESSA.

If your application is subject to a pre-registration audit check, we recommend you apply as soon as you can, audit services may be in high demand.  Please also ensure you are prepared for the audit.  Auditor estimates of completion rates depend on your ability to provide complete evidence packs and dedicate sufficient resources to the audit process. Should your application need to be cancelled as the result of an audit check you won’t be able to re-apply for registration after 30 June.

We recommend online payments for a faster registration but an offline payment after 30 June will not prevent a successful application.

The 30 June deadline is a statutory deadline under clause 34(1)(b) of Schedule 4A to the Electricity Supply Act 1995 and the Scheme Administrator has no discretion to extend or waive this deadline.
