Once the Peak Demand Reduction Scheme (PDRS) Rule commences and you become an Accredited Certificate Provider (ACP), you will be eligible to create Peak Reduction Certificates (PRCs) from eligible activities. PRCs will need to be created in accordance with the legislation and any additional conditions set out in your accreditation.
You will be able to start registering PRCs from 1 November 2022 when the certificate registry goes live for the PDRS. If you meet certain conditions PRCs can be generated from activities implemented from 1 April 2022
We have dedicated information on our website to help you operate successfully as an ACP, including:
- the legislation underpinning the PDRS

- likely activities from which PRCs can be created
- becoming nominated as the capacity holder for an implementation
