(1) It is unclear what the Member is referring to with respect to "channels".
(2) Synergy's Renewable Energy Buyback Scheme rate was revised from 8.8529 cents per kilowatt hour to 7.1350 cents per kilowatt hour on 1 September 2014. This reflects the repeal of the Federal carbon tax legislation and the removal of the corresponding carbon component from the rate.
