A growing number of industries and businesses are seeking to decarbonise through electrification on the SWIS. This assessment of renewable energy demand will enable Government to form a consolidated view of the future network. It is to be held ahead of the next Whole of System Plan, which is due to be delivered by September 2025.
Renewable electricity ambitions from existing and new industry will be included.
A media release for the assessment can be found here.
