AGL's caps, windows and conditions, from the plan records

- Membership: 191 AGL plans require a membership (for example a motoring club) to be eligible.
- Export credits as incentives: 40 AGL plans carry an export credit in the incentives field, outside the feed-in tariff, for example: "Solar Feed-in Tarriff Solar Feed-in Tarriff This plan features a tiered feed-in tariff.
