ANALYSIS OF BUDGETED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The budgeted departmental financial statements for the Office of the Renewable Energy Regulator (ORER) are presented in this section. Information from the budgeted financial statements, forms part of the financial statements that will appear in ORER's 2006-07 Annual Report, and is also required as input into the Whole of Government Accounts. ORER is forecasting a balanced budget for 2006-07. ORER also estimates a balanced budget for 2005-06.

Total departmental revenue for 2006-07 is slightly increased from previous years and reflects the increasing administration costs of the mandatory renewable energy target as the target grows in size and the numbers of participants increases.

During the 2005-06 financial year ORER continued development of the new internet registry. This asset is due to be capitalised toward the end of the 2005-06 financial year with an expected life of around 5 years. As a consequence, the remaining value of the software licence for the previous REC registry was written off at the end of the 2004-05 financial year.

ORER is also responsible for collecting administered funds, with incoming revenue returned to the Official Public Account. The revenue received is from statutory fees for the creation and surrender of renewable energy certificates and renewable energy shortfall related fees. A small amount of administered appropriation is also managed by the office. This is appropriated to meet the cost of refunding renewable energy shortfall fees. All funds received are immediately transferred to the Official Public Account. Likewise, administered appropriation is drawn down as required.
