[Tasmania, Australia launches annual 1500GWh green power tender to drive] Recently, Tasmania, Australia launched a large-scale renewable energy procurement program. Hydro Tasmania, a power company under the state government, has officially launched a long-term power purchase agreement bidding for 1.5 billion kilowatt hours (1500 GWh) of wind and solar power annually for global developers, aiming to lock in clean, stable, and financially viable power supply for local electricity demand growth over the next decade. This bidding is released in the form of an "Information Invitation Letter", and it is planned to flexibly award contracts through multiple batches and projects, supporting the construction or expansion of wind and solar power projects, and can be optimized with energy storage systems for output optimization. The target contract period is 10 to 20 years, and the first batch of agreements is expected to be signed in mid-2026. The related projects will be put into operation gradually from 2027 to 2028. The bidding requires that the electricity must be actually transmitted to the Tasmanian power grid, and a scheme that matches the load curve must be clearly defined. Bidders are required to submit documents before early January 2026, and non price factors such as credit qualifications, community and environmental contributions will also be included in the comprehensive evaluation. This plan is seen as a key initiative for Tasmania to promote energy structure transformation and enhance grid stability, and also provides long-term stable market opportunities for international renewable energy developers.
