Off-‐grid demand is growing
Example: WA Forecast increased minerals and energy electricity demand by source (GWh per annum, incremental above 2012 levels)
95% of new energy demand expected to be provided off-grid

Lack of projects on the ground in Australia causes barriers
Financial • Costs unclear • Capital intensive, favouring long projects • Energy purchase dynamics
Technical • Variable renewable output • Perceived reliability risk • Workforce skills
Other • Decision-‐making • Planning

ObjecWves • Demonstrate porXolio of renewable energy soluWons in off-‐grid
and fringe-‐of-‐grid areas
• Demonstrate technical viability and system reliability
• Develop supporWng technologies and systems
• Demonstrate commercial viability of innovaWve business models
• Knowledge sharing
Eligible organisaWons • CARRE: Australian electricity distributor or state government
body
• I-‐RAR: EnWty incorporated under CorporaWons Act 2001

Mining is a key opportunity
• Main contributor to the increase in off-‐grid demand
• Offse^ng trucked in fuels with renewables reduces costs
• ARENA has been discussing barriers with industry
• RAR expressions of interest closed at the end of 2013; received 72
• Currently assessing applicaWons
