Retire them? RECs are created then sold then they are retired?

Sydney Water generates their own power to use at some treatment plants where almost all of the power is used onsite does this mean you are eligible for RECs because you used 'greenpower' to power your own site rather than getting it from the grid.

Surely at some stage there must be a saturation point, greenpower bought vs available greenpower. And not just creating/buying/selling RECs.

Just been reading some documents on ORER and there are coal fired powerstations on the list that are accredited and eligible for RECs......
