Request for Tender - Commercial and finance service provider resources for the Newcastle Logistics Precinct Project.

Project goals

The NSW Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap outlines the State's strategy to modernise the electricity system and support the economy with low-cost, clean electricity generation and reliable 24-hour power sources. It includes plans for the first five Renewable Energy Zones (REZ), such as Central-West Orana (CWO), which will provide essential network infrastructure to integrate new renewable energy sources into the grid. REZs serve as modern power stations, combining generation, transmission, storage, and system strength services to ensure a secure and affordable energy system. They are vital for replacing existing power stations as they retire over the next 15 years.

The Energy Corporation of NSW (EnergyCo) is the statutory authority responsible for delivering these REZs. As the Infrastructure Planner under the Electricity Infrastructure Investment Act (EII Act), EnergyCo prioritises and leads the development of REZ transmission, generation, firming, and storage projects for efficient investment.

In addition, EnergyCo plays a key role in coordinating, developing and delivering several priority projects which enable the construction of REZ infrastructure and renewable energy generation projects, including the Port to REZ road upgrades project and the Newcastle Logistics Precinct (NLP) Project, which is the subject of this Request for Tender (RFT).
