Australia’s AusEnergy Services (ASL), formerly AEMO Services, has released the Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) Tender 6 parameters, seeking an initial 2,400MWh of dispatchable capacity in Western Australia.
Australia’s minister for climate change and energy, Chris Bowen, has confirmed that the Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) will be upsized from 32GW to 40GW.
Major Australian energy generator-retailer EnergyAustralia has sold a 50% share in its 1,400MWh Wooreen battery energy storage system (BESS) to Thailand-based energy firm Banpu Public Company.
The Australian government is set to cut CIS tender process times to around six months as a 576MWh solar-plus-storage site has been approved in Tasmania.
A 1,200MWh solar-plus-storage twin project is set to be developed in North Queensland, Australia, after success in the recent Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) tender.
