Towards a clean energy future
Transgrid provides the grid infrastructure for NSW and the ACT, and, in consultation with stakeholders including governments, customers and communities, is building and planning the future grid for a decarbonised future.
In this presentation Craig Stallan will discuss Transgrid’s role in the energy landscape, discussing the opportunities and challenges for the transmission network and its major project pipeline, including EnergyConnect, HumeLink and VNI West. It will be a chance to hear about the projects being built to enable more renewable energy to be integrated into the grid and put downward pressure on energy prices. Craig will also look at the future grid for NSW and what is still required to reach Net Zero targets and how Transgrid will supply a future grid that is agile, responsive and commercial.
