Australia approves large solar, wind, battery projects

Australia has progressed 10 large-scale clean energy projects for development under a national investment scheme, the government said over the weekend.

Almost 1.9GW of renewable electricity generation and 3.7GWh of battery storage projects in Western Australia have been approved under tenders five and six of the Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) (see table).

CIS requests projects launch by 2030 and offers up to 15 years of revenue support.

Currently, CIS rounds seven and eight are in progress, seeking a total 9GW of generation capacity alongside four-hour energy storage for a 4GW portion. Results are expected around mid-year.

Australia wants to tender 40GW of renewable generation and dispatchable capacity under CIS by 2026-27, to support its 82pc renewable electricity target for 2030.

But there are also calls for such long-term support to focus on the later years of renewables projects, instead of right from the start.
