Since Herbert Smith Freehills' last update on the Capacity Investment Scheme (CIS) in July, the Commonwealth Government has released a Public Consultation Paper (Consultation Paper) for the proposed approach and design of the CIS.

Our previous article noted several potential eligibility criteria, as well as detailed the recently announced partnership between the NSW Government and Federal Government to increase the firmed capacity in Round 2 of the NSW Firming Infrastructure Tender.
