Generator and storage projects to contribute to the design of New England REZ network infrastructure

EnergyCo, in its capacity as the Infrastructure Planner, is leading the development of the New England Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) which will deliver energy from new renewable energy generators in the REZ to the homes, businesses and industries that need it.

EnergyCo conducted an Expression of Interest (EOI) process to identify and select generator and storage projects to participate in the New England REZ design process. To be eligible for this selection process, generator and storage projects had to meet a minimum threshold of 250 megawatt alternating current (MWac) capacity or a storage equivalent 250 MW hour minimum threshold, and be located within the declared New England REZ.

Selected generator and storage projects will have the opportunity to engage with EnergyCo through the early design and development phases of the REZ. The process will ensure that the REZ network infrastructure is built for purpose and community and environmental impacts are minimised.

The EOI closed on Tuesday 4 October 2022. For more information, please visit the link here.
