The four new tenders were revealed late Wednesday in a briefing note sent to the industry by the federal department of climate change, energy, efficiency and water.
Storage tender rounds are expected to remain highly competitive, with battery capacity under development exceeding tender volumes. The first CIS auction, the South Australia-Victoria Tender for battery storage capacity, saw significant investor interest.
The construction of the grid was anticipated to begin in early 2022 and is expected to be in operation by 2023. Thus, upcoming projects in Australia are expected to boost the demand for battery energy storage systems (BESS) during the forecast period.
The CIS seeks to support delivery of 23 GW of generation and 9 GW of storage capacity by 2030. Given the potential scale of this scheme over the next five years, every storage market participant needs to refine their strategy, governance, and bid approach to account for the market’s new largest buyer of storage contract agreements.
