NSW and ACT grid operator Transgrid has welcomed new analysis by the Australian Energy Market
Operator (AEMO) that reaffirms the critical role of new transmission infrastructure in providing
consumers access to lower cost energy.

Transgrid Group continues to advance the transformation of the energy system in NSW, investing in critical transmission infrastructure while connecting new renewable generation to the grid, supporting regional and First Nations communities, and protecting the environment, a new report demonstrates.

Transgrid continues to lead the Australian energy industry in reducing its network carbon footprint, trialling new eco-friendly transmission switchgear as part of its target to reach net zero by 2050.

A planned $167.1 million investment in control room technology upgrades will support NSW’s accelerated transition to renewable energy, reducing constraints that are imposed on generators to ensure grid safety and security.

Australia’s transition to a clean energy future has taken a major step forward with specialist crews constructing the first of more than 800 new transmission towers on the nation-critical HumeLink project.

A new recruitment program is initially offering eight people the opportunity to begin a career in project management at Transgrid, with participants to be mentored by experts across Australia’s largest transmission business and receive nationally accredited training.
