Directorate will remain responsible for local investment commitment monitoring and compliance. This will be carried out in close consultation with the Chief Minister, Treasury and Economic Development Directorate as well as the Education Directorate. In summary, the review found that wind auction II was successful in incentivising the uptake of large-scale wind electricity at highly competitive prices which ultimately will result in renewable electricity being delivered at low cost to ACT electricity consumers. Wind auction II built on the experience of the solar auctions held in 2012 and 2013 and the first wind auction held in 2014 to deliver two high quality wind projects that will not only deliver competitively priced renewable electricity but will also produce major local investment benefits for the ACT. This includes an agreement with the ANU to deliver world-class research into distributed electricity storage systems, development of a new microgrid system at the CIT, establishment of a new Asia-Pacific microgrid export facility in the ACT, the relocation of the asset and operations management centre of CWP Renewables to the Territory, the establishment of renewable electricity and battery storage training in the territory, and further expansion of the renewable energy innovation precinct in New Acton. The local economic benefits of wind auction II to the ACT have been valued in excess of $100 million over 20 years. This is a great win for Canberra that will support the government’s vision of the ACT as an export-oriented hub for renewable energy investment and innovation. The success of wind auction II continues to move the ACT towards meeting its 100 per cent by 2020 renewable electricity target and demonstrates the territory’s continued leadership on climate change and renewable energy. I commend the review to the Assembly.
