Temporary financial relief under the OEI framework

The Australian Government has introduced temporary relief measures from application fees and levies for offshore electricity infrastructure licence holders. 

Amendments to the Offshore Electricity Infrastructure Regulations 2022 provide temporary financial relief for licence holders for 2 years. The regulations:

• waive annual levies for feasibility and research and demonstration licences

• halve annual levies for transmission and infrastructure licences

• reduce the fees to apply for a research and demonstration licence from $300,000 to $20,000

• reduce the fee to apply for a transmission and infrastructure licence from $300,000 to $150,000.
