New South Wales will launch a 1.5GW tender targeting gas generation in 2025. Greenfield gas-fired generation projects have not featured in NSW's electricity roadmap tenders previously, but a capacity shortfall early next decade is set to change this. The state aims to address future energy reliability through new gas-fired capacity.
The tender represents a significant shift in NSW's approach to ensuring grid stability as renewable penetration increases. Industry analysts suggest the move could unlock substantial investment in the sector as the state moves toward a potentially tight supply situation.
