About the assessment sheets

The Office of the Renewable Energy Regulator has developed a series of assessment sheets to assist generators interpret the wood waste provisions in the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Regulations 2001. These assessment sheets can be used by generators in building appropriate record sets to use in demonstrating the eligibility of wood waste.

The use of the assessment sheets are not mandatory. However, claims for renewable energy certificates that are supported by the recommended records are more likely to be approved by the ORER.

Assessment sheets for categories 1 - 6 have generic application across the country.

The assessment sheets provide a guide only. If the assessment sheets do not cover your particular circumstances, please contact the Office of the Renewable Energy Regulator for assistance. Feedback on the accuracy of the assessment sheets can be directed to orer@orer.gov.au.

The assessment sheets cover six broad areas:

  1. Wood waste from the eradication of non-native woody weeds
  2. A manufactured wood product or by-product from a manufacturing process
  3. Waste products from the construction of buildings or furniture
  4. Sawmill residue
  5. Wastes from harvesting native forests
  6. Wastes from harvesting plantations
