Authorisation to Construct or Reconstruct a Generating Station

What is this licence?

An Authorisation to Construct or Reconstruct allows a person to construct or reconstruct a generating station greater than 10 MW.

If a proposed generating station has a capacity under 10 MW, see Notification of Intention to Construct or Reconstruct, and/or to Generate Electricity, from a Generation Station not exceeding 10 MW.

When do I need it?

You may need this during the pre-construction phase of your project.
