As Australia manages the transition away from fossil fuels, Tasmania has an enviable head start as a state 100 per cent self-sufficient in renewable energy. Tasmanian industry has been powered by renewable energy for almost a century and it will continue to underpin industrial growth.
Currently, energy demand and supply in Tasmania is in balance. To help meet the growing demand, the Tasmanian Government has a bold vision to maximise the State’s renewable energy capacity. This includes major initiatives such as Marinus Link, Battery of the Nation, the Tasmanian Renewable Energy Target, and the North-West Transmission Developments.
Hydro Tasmania has an important role in supporting this growth, including through working with the state government to develop a framework for how Hydro Tasmania will manage requests for contracts, including firming, sustainably and in the best interests of the State. To assist existing and potential customers understand how Hydro Tasmania will manage the transitional period while this framework is being developed, Hydro Tasmania has published contracting guidelines.
