Minister for Energy and Mineral Resources has issued new regulations relating to the obligation for certain domestic coal producers to allocate 25% of coal production for domestic use.
The quota applies to specific mining licence holders. Those licence holders to which the quota applies must submit monthly reports to demonstrate compliance with the quota. Failure to properly demonstrate compliance may result in various financial penalties. The new regulations also allow the government to step in, in emergencies, to require domestic coal producers to supply the domestic market until domestic requirements are fulfilled.
