The Australian government has officially opened the Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) Tender 8, targeting 16GWh of energy storage capacity across the National Electricity
Australia's biggest tender delivers 15 GWh of battery energy storage systems, boosting grid reliability and advancing the 2030 renewable target.
The third CIS tender awarded 4.13 GW of contracts to battery energy storage projects across the mainland NEM. This marks the largest battery tender to date. The tender locked in 15.37 GWh of energy storage capacity. This tops the previous record of 13.8 GWh set by the LTESA long-duration energy storage tenders.
Sixteen battery energy storage projects with a combined capacity of 4.13 GW / 15.37 GWh have been named as the winners of the Australian government's latest Capacity Investment Scheme tender.
The tender is one of a number being held as part of the CIS, which now seeks 40 GW of renewable generation and dispatchable capacity to support system reliability as ageing coal-fired power stations retire and to help deliver the Australian government's 82% renewable electricity target by 2030 target.
