Alinta Energy is seeking expressions of interest for renewable energy projects over 50MW in the National Energy Market, particularly where an offtake partner is required.
With approximately 3000MW of owned and contracted capacity in its generation portfolio already, and having just welcomed its millionth customer, Alinta Energy MD and CEO, Jeff Dimery, said the company is eager to secure additional generation to help the company deliver on its desire to provide more affordable energy to its fast-growing customer base.
“We’re taking on around 2000 customers a day at the moment, and we’re working to deliver 1000 megawatts of owned and contracted renewable generation by 2020, so we welcome any contact from renewable energy developers who are prepared to work with us to deliver more affordable energy to our customers.
“As a retailer that is determined to drive down the cost of energy for our customers and is looking to challenge our larger competitors, I can assure those with suitable projects that you will find a partner that is ready, willing and able in Alinta Energy,” Mr Dimery said.
