Australia’s Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) will be expanded to support 40 GW of new solar, wind and dispatchable capacity as the federal government works to meet its target of 82% renewables by 2030.
Federal Energy Minister Chris Bowen is to announce that the CIS, which provides a guaranteed revenue floor for renewable generation and storage projects, will be increased by 25%.
The original design of the CIS called for 23 GW of new solar and wind capacity and 9 GW of dispatchable capacity, including battery energy storage. The expansion will support an additional 3 GW of new generation – enough to power more than one million households – and 5 GW of dispatchable capacity or storage – equivalent to supplying 4.6 million households with energy at peak times.
