TransGrid supports local development
TRANSGRID is the operator and manager of the high voltage transmission network in NSW and the ACT, and plays an essential role within the National Energy Market (NEM).
With more than 13,000km of transmission lines and cables, TransGrid’s network connects major load centres, industry and customers directly with generation sources.
It also connects NSW to Queensland and Victoria, providing a safe, secure and reliable platform for the transportation and trading of electricity.
The NEM is undergoing a period of transformation, as changes in generation sources and patterns of energy use across the NEM bring new challenges and opportunities for Australian industry.
As this transformation continues, ensuring the availability of affordable and reliable energy through the utilisation of emerging and existing energy generation technology will be important to maintain the viability of Australian industry and economic growth.
TransGrid works closely with its customers across NSW, providing a safe and secure connection to the transmission network for both generators of electricity and large energy users.
It is focused on ensuring the reliability of supply and demand across NSW and the ACT.
“TransGrid aims to provide cost affective connections and energy at scale, to maximise the opportunities for entities across the NEM to be commercially successful,” TransGrid’s head of infrastructure services, Nigel Buchanan, said.
Mr Buchanan acknowledged the important role that successful industry plays in maintaining regional investment, employment and growth.
“We provide the energy connection point for large businesses such as Whitehaven, and understand that a reliable supply of power is essential for their operational requirements and their commercial objectives,” he said.
As Australia’s energy transformation continues, TransGrid continues to facilitate customers’ access to safe, reliable and affordable energy.
“We are committed to supporting all customers to achieve their business objectives and continuing to support regional economic investment,” Mr Buchanan said.
