FAQs
Would the Department consider reducing the hurdle requirements outlined in Eligibility Criteria 7 (EC7) of the draft Ministerial Guidelines?
The Department has received feedback from numerous parties regarding impacts that Eligibility Criteria 7 may have in its current form and particular for the initial tender round. We are considering this feedback in line with scheme objectives and desire to enable a competitive tender process to be run by the Scheme Administrator later this year.
Could the Department please clarify the inclusion/exclusions from the annual revenue calculations?
The Department wishes to clarify that references to inclusions/exclusions refer to annual submissions made to the Financial Vehicle for calculation of payments. Proponents may wish to build up their bid variables accounting for costs/revenues attributable to their project, noting that Financial Value is a key bid assessment criteria. The Department has become aware of some minor inconsistencies between the draft term-sheet and guidelines provided and has also up-loaded new versions of each to clarify.
