As part of the announcement there will be a commitment for the government to buy "renewable energy certificates" as a way to encourage some new wind energy projects to be built Victoria.

The program is expected to bring forward the building of a modest 100 megawatts of new wind energy in the state, worth $200 million in investment. Government data says there is about 2400 megawatts worth of Victorian projects that have been approved but are yet to be built.
