This proclamation acts as the legal 'on switch,' allowing the government to control exactly when new renewable energy rules begin applying.\n\n**Important note:** This is purely a procedural document. It announces the timing but does **not** contain the actual policy changes or substance of items 6 and 7—it simply triggers them into operation."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/renewable-energy-electricity-amendment-act-2009-proclamation","history":"/api/acts/renewable-energy-electricity-amendment-act-2009-proclamation/history","analysis":"/api/acts/renewable-energy-electricity-amendment-act-2009-proclamation/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/renewable-energy-electricity-amendment-act-2009-proclamation/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/renewable-energy-electricity-amendment-act-2009-proclamation/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/renewable-energy-electricity-amendment-act-2009-proclamation/documents"}}
