\nAustralia has selected 20 renewable energy and battery storage projects
\nunder the latest round of its Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS), backing
\nmore than 6.6GW of new clean energy capacity across the National Electricity
\nMarket.
\n

\nThe projects were awarded through CIS Tender 4, managed by AEMO Services
\non behalf of the Australian Government, with the successful portfolio including
\nlarge-scale
\nwind<\/a>,
\nsolar and battery energy storage developments across several Australian
\nstates.
\n

\nThe latest awards form part of Australia\u2019s broader energy transition strategy,
\nwhich includes the development of offshore wind zones in regions such as
\nGippsland and the Hunter. Offshore site investigation, metocean and floating
\nLiDAR campaigns<\/a>
\nhave continued to expand as developers progress early-stage offshore wind
\nassessment work.
\n

\nThe Capacity Investment Scheme is designed to provide developers with long-term
\nrevenue certainty, helping projects secure financing and progress towards
\nconstruction as Australia works to replace ageing coal-fired generation
\nand strengthen grid reliability.
\n

\nAustralia is targeting 32GW of new renewable generation and storage capacity
\nthrough the CIS programme by 2030 as it accelerates investment in low-carbon
\nenergy infrastructure.. <\/p>\n
