Renewable Energy Development Program
The Renewable Energy Development Program under the NSW Climate Change Fund provides $40 million over five years to support projects which are expected to lead to large scale greenhouse gas emission savings in NSW by:
- demonstrating renewable energy technologies in NSW
- supporting the early commercialisation of renewable energy technologies in NSW.
Eligibility criteria
The Renewable Energy Development Program supports renewable energy projects which will generate electricity or displace grid electricity use in NSW for stationary energy purposes.
Renewable energy is defined as energy which is naturally occurring and which is theoretically inexhaustible, such as energy from the sun or wind. It includes energy sourced from hydro, wind, solar, wave, tide and ocean, food waste and biomass.
Round 1 of the Renewable Energy Development Program allocated $27 million to seven renewable energy projects.
