The Clean Energy Regulator will use the restricted ATM option provided by AusTender. Restricted ATMs can
only be accessed if you have been provided details to access the ATM. Once a participant is qualified and
registered to participate in a particular auction, the Clean Energy Regulator will email all authorised bidders
an ATM-ID and passcode for that auction. This ATM-ID and passcode will be required by you to locate and
access the auction’s restricted ATM.
You are required to create an AusTender user account in order to bid at auction and it is recommended you
do this well in advance of the bidding window. Details on creating and logging in to an AusTender user
account, accessing the restricted ATM and making an auction bid and withdrawing from an auction are
below.
Bidding window

The bidding window is the date(s), including opening and closing times when authorised bidders can
submit an auction bid. The Clean Energy Regulator will publish the bidding window at least six weeks
before the auction.
