Major Projects
Australia is in the midst of a major transition to renewable energy.
The way energy is generated in Tasmania is also changing. Energy demands are increasing and to help meet the needs of Tasmanians and the National Electricity Market the way energy is generated needs to be diversified.
To connect new energy generation projects, TasNetworks needs to strengthen and expand the existing transmission network across Tasmania to increase capacity and energy security.
There are a number of areas of the network that TasNetworks are focussing on to do this:
- The North West Transmission Developments
- The Waddamana to Palmerston transfer capability upgrade
- The George Town Network Upgrade
- Community Batteries
- System Strength
Some upgrades to the transmission network have been identified as “actionable projects” in the Integrated System Plan (ISP), prepared and published by Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO).
The ISP provides an integrated roadmap for the efficient development of the National Electricity Market (NEM) over the next 20 years and beyond. The ISP identifies “actionable projects” that support the development of the energy network.
North West Transmission Developments
A once in a generation upgrade to the electricity transmission network.
Regulatory Investment Test (RIT-T) projects
The projects we undertake strengthen our electricity network to ensure we can meet your needs now and into the future.
Community Batteries
Community batteries support renewable energy and play a key role in allowing our network to transition to a clean energy future.
Systems Strength
Maintaining adequate levels of system strength across the network is important for ensuring the power system can operate normally.
