Wind Prospect is pleased to announce that the proposed Hexham Wind Farm has been successful in the Australian Government’s latest Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS), Tender Round 4.
The Hexham Wind Farm Project was recently successful in the Australian Government’s Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS). The CIS is an Australian Government revenue underwriting scheme to accelerate investment in renewable energy projects and will provide investment certainty for the Project, should it receive planning approval.
This is a significant milestone for the Hexham Wind Farm, and recognises the benefits of the Project, such as its proposed contribution to Australia’s energy reliability, emissions reductions and lower energy prices. The CIS Agreement strengthens the long-term social and economic commitments of the Project for the region including opportunities for First Nations people, local supply and procurement initiatives and wider community benefits – from construction through to operation and decommissioning of the Project.
It is important to note that the CIS outcome is separate to planning approvals for the Project. The Hexham Wind Farm project team continues to move through the EES process and once this is complete the Victorian Planning Minister will assess the Project and determine whether it can proceed.
