Submissions to the Expanded CIS Design Consultation Paper
View submissions to the Expanded CIS Design Paper consultation.
Overview
We are seeking your feedback on the proposed design of the expanded Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS), including the proposed delivery methods for the scheme’s national rollout.
The CIS provides a national framework to encourage new investment in renewable capacity, such as wind and solar, as well as clean dispatchable capacity, such as battery storage. It aims to help build a more reliable, affordable and low-emissions energy system for all Australians.
The CIS will bring jobs and investment to regional communities, strengthen industries that create our sustainable future and support First Nation people in preserving their unique culture and heritage and to remain on Country.
Through competitive tenders, the Australian Government seeks bids for renewable capacity and clean dispatchable capacity projects to:
deliver an additional 32 GW of capacity by 2030
fill expected reliability gaps as ageing coal power stations exit
deliver the Australian Government’s 82% renewable electricity by 2030 target.
