NSW Roadmap - Tender Round 4

Tender Round 4 is now open for eligible renewable generation projects located across NSW, which are connecting to existing transmission and distribution infrastructure. Please click here to access the tender portal and start preparing your bid. Eligible projects across NSW are encouraged to participate.

Proponents returning from previous tender rounds with the same project will be able to use their existing login details to access their information. This can then be easily reviewed, updated and re-submitted.  

The indicative tender size for Generation LTESAs as set out in the 2023 draft IIO Report is 3,000GWh.  

Access Rights for the Central-West Orana REZ will not be released in this tender round to allow more time to consider the detailed feedback received from generation projects in the REZ.
