The second round (which was ultimately cancelled) targeted a further 600 MW of solar generation capacity. The plants also needed to be grid connected and required the endorsement of the relevant state or territory governments. In terms of funding requirements, the Commonwealth funding to the successful proponent was to be awarded through taxable capital grants. Applicants needed to seek 2 for 1 funding for the project and were expected to access other government (state government) funding sources. Each project had an Educational Infrastructure Fund component (to support university research and training activities) and this funding was subject to separate legislative and funding requirements. It was anticipated that the round one project would be selected in 2010, to be fully operational by 2015.
