Australia’s first Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) transmission project in Central-West Orana has reached financial close and is set to begin construction by mid-2025. The project, awarded to ACEREZ—a consortium of ACCIONA, COBRA, and Endeavour Energy—will deliver 4.5 GW of new network capacity by 2028, connecting 7.7 GW of solar and wind energy to the New South Wales electricity grid. Supported by the NSW Government and EnergyCo, the initiative includes $128 million in community grants and is expected to generate over 5,000 construction jobs and attract $20 billion in private investment.
