What happened
- 555 MW contracted over 30 years, with a 20-year extension option.
- Capacity will be delivered across planned campuses due online in 2028 and 2029.
- CDC reports about 302 MW in operation and 388 MW in development across Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra and New Zealand.
Why it matters
Capacity contracted for 2028 and 2029 means loops installed, flushed, filled and commissioned in 2027 and 2028. That work sits on the critical path to each energisation date.
