South Australia launches call for proposals under Renewable Technology Fund
The State Government of South Australia is calling for expressions of interest (EOI) from businesses interested in accessing a share of a AUD150 million (US$119 million) Renewable Technology Fund (RTF).
The opening of the fund was announced in March as part of the government's AUD550-million energy plan. The Renewable Technology Fund consists of AUD75 million to be awarded in grant funding and AUD75 million in loans or investment assistance of other kinds.
An unspecified portion of the AUS$150 million total has already been earmarked to go towards a 100 MW battery storage facility won in July by Tesla. The energy storage project will work together with Neoen's 315-MW Hornsdale wind farm.
The deadline for applications is September 28.
