Hydrogen and Renewable Energy Regulations 2024
South Australia has introduced the nation's first 'one window to government' licencing and regulatory system for large-scale hydrogen and renewable energy projects.
In March 2024, the Department for Energy and Mining sought public feedback on draft regulations to support the Hydrogen and Renewable Energy Act 2023 (the Act). The regulations provide details on a range of operational requirements in regard to the licencing and regulatory system established by the Act.
Consultation closed
The feedback period closed 15 April 2024. The new regulations are now in effect and can be viewed on the government's South Australian Legislation website.
Further information and related documents about the consultation process undertaken by the department can be found on the YourSAy website:
Record of consultation
Feedback on the draft regulations was received from a range of stakeholders including federal and state agencies, regional communities, Native Title bodies, pastoralists, agriculturalists, fisheries and aquaculturalists, environment representative bodies, hydrogen and renewable energy industry representatives and others.
