Power generation representatives from across Australia gathered in Sydney’s CBD today for TransGrid’s first ever Generator Forum.
Opening the inaugural 2012 Generator Forum, TransGrid’s Manager Director, Mr Peter McIntyre, said the Forum was part of TransGrid’s commitment to its generation customers.
“The results of TransGrid’s 2011 Customer Survey indicated that generation customers would welcome more formal opportunities to discuss the future of the NSW transmission network,” said Mr McIntyre.
“The Forum is part of TransGrid’s ongoing commitment to our customers, providing them with the opportunity to talk personally with our most senior Network Planning and Performance staff to help them make informed investment decisions,” he said.
“Effective transmission and generation investments ensure the most cost efficient forms of generation are connected to the National Electricity Market.”
A number of TransGrid’s senior staff members presented on key technical challenges for power generation and transmission, including the connection process of new generation, the Transmission Network Service Provider Incentive Scheme and Network Support and Control Ancillary Services.
Additionally, attendees were presented with the latest NSW electricity demand forecasts and details of system constraints.
