The Palaszczuk Government says its Renewables 400 initiative will support companies wanting to build large scale renewables and energy storage projects in the state through a reverse auction process.<\/p>\n

Part of the Powering Queensland Plan, a reverse auction will soon be conducted for up to 400 megawatts capacity, including 100 megawatts of energy storage.<\/p>\n

\u201cEnergy storage will play an important role in the transition to higher levels of renewable energy and this process will support the accelerated deployment of this important technology,” said<\/a> Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Government is now calling for registrations of interest<\/a> from developers of standalone renewable energy or storage and integrated projects. Companies wanting to be included when the auction process kicks off must register before 5pm on August 28.<\/p>\n

The Premier said Renewables 400 was a natural follow on from the Solar 150 program; which<\/span>, in collaboration with the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA), has helped fund four large-scale solar projects in the state that have commenced construction or are about to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How will the reverse auction work?<\/h2>\n

In a normal auction (forward auction), buyers compete with each other, which often results in prices being pushed higher. In a reverse auction, sellers compete for a project, putting downwards pressure on pricing and\/or offering better value for money. The use of reverse auctions in the renewable energy sector was pioneered in the ACT; which set an example other states and countries have followed.<\/p>\n

In the Renewables 400 auction, companies\u00a0 will be encouraged to bid the lowest electricity price needed to support their project.<\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cSuccessful bidders will be awarded financial contracts with the Government for some or all of the electricity they generate, which will provide them with long-term certainty allowing them to secure the financing required to deliver their project,\u201d said Treasurer and Acting Energy Minister Curtis Pitt.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Another important aspect of bid evaluation will be the potential for support of local businesses and job creation.<\/p>\n

The Powering Queensland Plan<\/a> (PQP), announced in June, is a $1.16 billion strategy that the Government says will stabilise electricity costs, create jobs, stimulate investment and lead the transition to Queensland’s clean energy future.<\/p>\n

The Queensland Government has committed to achieving a 50 per cent renewable energy target by 2030 and one million rooftops with solar power systems<\/a> or 3,000 megawatts of solar PV across the state by 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
