Energy
transition
- Beyond the Transition: Powering the Next Wave of REZs For many decades, planning for electricity networks was based on relatively predictable and stable patterns of demand and supply. But the energy transition has changed that, reshaping where and how energy is both produced and used.
- Building a better power system through system security and operability With the closure of Liddell power station in April 2023 and the planned 2025 closure of the Eraring Power Station, Transgrid is on the frontline of making profound changes to maintain system strength and ensure the safe and secure operation of the power system.
- Fostering the clean energy workforce of the future The shift to a clean energy future isn't just about changing how we generate electricity—it's also about creating job opportunities, upskilling our workforce, and strengthening our regional economy.
- How upskilling Australians could be the gamechanger in accelerating our clean energy transition We explore the skill challenges in clean energy industries, the government's initiatives to address the shortage, the benefits of investing in clean energy skills, and Transgrid's commitment to creating job opportunities in the renewable energy sector.
Projects &
innovation
- EnergyConnect EnergyConnect is a critical project that will lower power bills for homes and businesses.
- HumeLink A new 500kV transmission line will carry electricity to customers from new generation sources.
- Victoria to NSW Interconnector West VNI West is a core component and priority project in AEMO’s 2022 ISP, which confirms the need for short- and longer-term investment to increase the transfer capacity between the states.
- Hunter Transmission Project A new overhead 500kV transmission line spanning around 100 kilometres between Bayswater in the Upper Hunter and Olney in the Lower Hunter.
- Mount Piper to Wallerawang Transmission Line Upgrade Project The Project will strengthen and reinforce the grid in the State’s Central Tablelands region, helping to ensure that power from the Central-West Orana Renewable Energy Zone (CWOREZ) can be reliably transmitted to consumers.
- System Security Roadmap Operational Technology Upgrades This transformation is driving a substantial increase in information and analysis requirements across our operational control and operational planning functions.
- Central West Orana Renewable Energy Zone The NSW government has developed a plan to establish five Renewable Energy Zones (REZs) to increase energy generation, reduce carbon emissions, and help deliver lower wholesale electricity costs to consumers.
- Waratah Super Battery Enabling Works The project will allow increased transmission of energy to meet demand in the Sydney, Newcastle, and Wollongong regions, following the reduction in supply due to the planned closure of Eraring Power Station.
