Forward view of committed, anticipated, CIS-awarded, and retiring generation capacity across the Australian NEM and WEM — drawn from AEMO's Integrated System Plan, the DCCEEW Capacity Investment Scheme tenders, and (weekly) AEMO's Medium-Term PASA.
Hosts the largest REZ build-out in the NEM — Central-West Orana, New England, and Hunter-Central Coast REZs carry most of the committed pipeline.
Retirement cliff concentrated around the Latrobe Valley coal stations through the late 2020s — replacement capacity skews toward offshore wind and battery storage.
CopperString 2032 transmission unlocks the North Queensland Clean Energy Hub. Large solar pipeline coupled with pumped hydro.
Highest renewable penetration in the NEM — committed build focuses on synchronous condensers, batteries, and green hydrogen feedstock capacity.
Battery of the Nation concept — pumped hydro and wind projects contingent on Marinus Link interconnector staging.
WEM pipeline driven by coal-exit commitments and heavy-industry decarbonisation (Pilbara) — under DWER / AEMO WA, separate from the NEM.
gridIQ unifies three public sources into a single forward pipeline view:
A project appearing in multiple sources (e.g. an ISP-committed project that has since won a CIS contract) is kept as separate rows — provenance is tracked per source so the numbers above are the union, not a dedup.
For renewable developers, understanding what's already committed in a REZ informs competitive positioning and connection-queue risk. See our renewable developers use case for the full commercial perspective.
For commercial energy buyers and sustainability teams, pipeline visibility reveals when structural price shifts are likely — coal retirements, large solar commissioning windows, and CIS-awarded dispatchables drive the medium-term shape of wholesale markets. See the sustainability teams use case for how this feeds Scope 2 and PPA decisions.
For trading desks, the retirement schedule of thermal capacity and commissioning windows of new-entrant renewables shape forward-curve expectations. See live electricity prices and price forecasts for current market context.
