Origin can confirm the withdrawal of the proposed Shoalhaven expansion project from the NSW Government’s Long Term Energy Service Agreement (LTESA) tender process.
While current economic market conditions don’t support the development of the project at this time, the Shoalhaven expansion project remains an advanced development option and Origin will progress securing the necessary environmental and regulatory approvals to support any future development.
Origin will continue to operate and maintain its existing pumped hydro assets at Shoalhaven and will also work to advance other storage and renewable energy opportunities across our development portfolio.
We will continue to keep the community updated on any material changes.
Regards,
Origin’s Power Development Project Team
