A consortium of six companies is proposing the development of a large renewable energy zone in remote, inland New South Wales, known as the "Inland Renewable Energy Region," to unlock abundant wind and solar resources. This initiative aims to support over 10 gigawatts of new renewable power by 2040, with a stage one capacity of 2-4 GW achievable by 2035. The proposal includes additional transmission capacity in Far, North West, and Western NSW to support the region, with plans for a major new transmission link to the Cobar region. The consortium is pushing for AEMO to prioritize the project in its 2026 Integrated System Plan and emphasizes the importance of timely delivery and integration with existing and future projects to support Australia's energy transition and decarbonization goals.
