"That's the Valley of the Winds project in New South Wales. The Australian government actually bid out capacity contracts to enable renewables," ACEN president and CEO Eric Francia said in a recent interview.

ACEN, through ACEN Australia, recently secured a capacity investment scheme agreement (CISA) from the Australian government during the latest and largest tender round.

Similar to the Philippines' green energy auction, CISA is a program designed to attract investments in renewable energy generation and dispatchable storage.
