The Australian state of New South Wales (NSW), through its consumer trustee AEMO Services, has received offers totalling 3.1 GW of new generation capacity and 1.6 GW of long-duration storage for its third tender aiming to secure 950 MW of generation and 550 MW of long-duration storage. The selected projects will undergo an assessment for non-price criteria before being announced by the end of 2023.
This third Roadmap tender follows the first tender, for generation and long-duration storage, which concluded in May 2023 with the award of 1,395 MW of wind and solar capacity, and the second tender, for firming infrastructure, which is ongoing. The NSW government aims to bring 12 GW of renewable energy generation capacity and 2 GW of long-duration storage online by 2030 to replace ageing coal-fired power plants.
