Invitation for Expressions of Interest (EOI)

The Government of New South Wales (“NSW Government”) is reforming its electricity industry and will exit the competitive areas of the sector by:

• Contracting the electricity trading rights of all State-owned power stations to the private sector, commonly referred to as the Gentrader model;
• Selling the retail operations of its three State-owned electricity distribution companies; and
• Selling State-owned sites for the development of new power stations to be owned and operated by the private sector.

The NSW Government will maintain public ownership of existing power stations and electricity transmission and distribution networks (the “poles and wires”).

The NSW Government has established a process to identify and select suitably qualified parties to participate in a competitive bid process (the “Bid Process”) for the purchase of the Gentrader contracts, retail operations and power station development sites.

If lodging an EOI electronically, Interested Parties should note that upload times may vary significantly depending on system configuration.  Interested Parties should therefore ensure responses are lodged in sufficient time to be received by the Electronic Tender Box before the Closure Date.

EOIs submitted by email or facsimile will not qualify as being properly lodged.
