- The installation, construction, management and operation of autonomous storage facilities, up to a maximum limit of 750 MVA, distributed across the connection points identified in the corresponding tender procedure rules; and
- The installation, construction, operation and management of renewable power generation centres with co-located storage, up to a maximum limit of 300 MVA, distributed across the connection points identified in the corresponding tender procedure rules.
