NSW renewables tender secures 312 MW capacity with Ibderdrola

• 312 MW of renewable energy secured in New South Wales with Long-Term Energy Service Agreements, paving the way for a cleaner, more sustainable future.

Two projects totaling 312 MW in New South Wales, Australia, have secured Long-Term Energy Service Agreements (LTESAs) in a state government tender. The projects, a wind farm and a hybrid solar project with a battery energy storage component, were awarded in the fourth round of the state's Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap. The wind farm, Flyers Creek, owned by Iberdrola SA, has a capacity of 145 MW and is expected to be operational later this year. The solar farm and battery energy storage project, Maryvale, owned by Gentari Renewables Australia, is planned to have a capacity of 243 MWp.

AEMO Services, which runs the tenders as the NSW Consumer Trustee, awarded the LTESAs for the projects, providing insurance against future price risk. The projects are part of New South Wales' goal to back the private sector in installing at least 12 GW of new renewable electricity generation and 2 GW of long-duration storage as it prepares to exit coal-fired generation. The state's third LTESAs tender allocated 750 MW of wind and solar, as well as 524 MW of long-duration energy storage projects, all expected to go online in 2028.
