-- Frontier Energy (ASX:FHE) said the first stage of the Waroona renewable energy project was successful in its application for Tender 6 of the Australian Government's Capacity Investment Scheme, according to a Monday Australian bourse filing.
The underwriting scheme, backed by the Australian Government, provides the Waroona project with a guaranteed minimum level of revenue protection to 2042. If revenue falls below an agreed floor price, measured by Frontier's offer, the government will provide top-up payments.
Its shares jumped 3% in recent trading on Monday.
