With reference to section 8.20, to clarify, if an existing customer has a demand of 10MW and an additional new demand of 5MW, is the minimum threshold calculated as follows: 100% x 15MW x 0.52 x 730 hours?

Based on guideline, the calculation to set the minimum threshold under CRESS is as follows:-

8.20 For existing customers who participate with new additional demand, 100% of the existing maximum demand declared multiplied by the load factor of 0.52 x 730 (hours) will be used to set the minimum threshold under the CRESS programme. The minimum threshold will be used for billing calculation.

Minimum Threshold for billing = (10MW)*0.52*730 = 3,796,000kWh

Are there any detailed guidelines on requirements to include community-scale battery storage? What are the components in SAC? Can lower System Access Charge (SAC) for Longer-Hour Batteries be considered? What is the System Access Charge (SAC) for Non-Solar Technologies (e.g., Biomass/Biogas)? What is excess energy?
