The previous Minister for Energy endorsed a proposal to repeal the requirement for electricity generating works to be licensed. Changes to the Electricity Industry Act 2004 to implement this proposal were introduced into Parliament on 14 September 2016 as part of the Licensing and Other Authorisations Amendment Bill 2016. These legislative changes did not receive Parliamentary approval.
