Сводный обзор: 
This Act regulates the use of renewable energy in Tonga. In particular, it promotes the development of the renewable energy industry; establishes the Renewable Energy Authority its functions and powers; regulates renewable energy agreements. The primary purpose of this Act is to provide a legal framework to promote the utilization of renewable energy in Tonga, through the creation of a conducive and an enabling market environment. The Act creates a renewable energy authority to deal with matters concerning renewable energy. In accordance with Government policy, this Act makes a distinction between electricity that comes under the Renewable Energy Authority and electricity that is subjected to the authority of the Electricity Commission (formerly TEPB), under the Electricity Act 2007. The Renewable Energy Authority will be responsible for all renewable energy including electricity in direct current form. When electricity is converted to alternate current, it falls outside the jurisdiction of the Renewable Energy Authority (it then becomes subjected to the Electricity Commission).
