Target 300 Report Release
Target 300 has released a report titled - How Kevin Rudd managed to turn solar photo voltaics (PV) into Australia's most greenhouse gas intensive form of energy production. The report outlines how selling of Renewable Energy Certificates under the Solar Credits Scheme burdens owners of solar PV systems with high levels of emissions for relatively little gain. The report concludes the solar credit scheme needs to be replaced.

The diagram below from the report shows how under the Solar Credit Scheme, solar PV owners sell four volumes of non existent renewable electricity, in the form of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs), for each real volume of renewable electricity produced, accepting both the dollar value of the RECs and the emissions the RECs are used to offset.
