It mainly affects importers and developers of utility‑scale solar projects, domestic manufacturers of similar equipment, and the wider renewable sector by lowering equipment costs. Effective 14 September 2011, the concession can make large‑scale solar infrastructure cheaper to build while potentially increasing competition for local producers."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-1131414","history":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-1131414/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-1131414/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-1131414/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-1131414/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tariff-concession-order-1131414/documents"}}
