The confidence war began in opposition. Victoria also has a substantial system, with about a quarter of the Australia's capacity, and projects under construction forecast to more than double that capacity by the end of 2013. In August 2015, the Victorian government announced financial backing for new wind farms as part of a push to encourage renewable energy in the state, which was expected to bring forward the building of a modest 100 MW of new wind energy in the state, worth $200 million in investment. The government expected that there were about 2400 MW worth of Victorian projects that had been approved but were yet to be built. The announcement follows a rocky 18 months for the industry that has seen investment in new projects largely dry up across Australia. The collapse was largely a result of uncertainty created by the federal government's moves to cut the national renewable energy target and general publicly hostile.
