Energy projects in the Australian Capital Territory
Updated
The ACT is a small but policy-active market. The Territory generates very little electricity locally and draws the bulk of its supply from the wider NSW grid, but it has used long-term renewable energy contracts to claim 100% renewable electricity for its needs. That makes the ACT an unusual market – more interesting for what it signals about policy ambition and procurement models than for its raw volume of new infrastructure.
