Proposed Generation Projects
This table lists generation projects (including generation upgrades) which do not yet meet AEMO's criteria for consideration as a committed project. The capacity of these proposed projects is not considered by AEMO when assessing the supply-demand outlook.
Generation projects are assessed by AEMO against five criteria.
- Site - The project proponent has leased or acquired, or commenced legal proceedings to lease or acquire, land for the construction of the project.
- Major Components - Contracts for the supply and construction of major plant or equipment (generators, turbines, boilers, transmission towers and conductors), including contract provisions for project cancellation payments, have been executed.
- Planning Consents - The project proponent has obtained all required planning and construction approvals and licences, including completed and approved environmental impact statements (which include planning and environmental approvals from duly authorised planning bodies at both State and Federal Government levels).
- Finance - Financing arrangements for the proposal, including debt plans, have been finalised and contracts executed.
- Construction Date - Construction has either commenced or a firm date has been set for it to commence.
To be considered committed a generation project must meet all five criteria. Generation projects which do not meet all five criteria listed above are reported as proposed projects on this page.
A proposed generation project which fully satisfies at least three criteria is further classed an Advanced Proposal.
All other proposed generation projects are classed as Publicly Announced.
- Satisfied 
- Partially Satisfied
