The Pilbara Networks Rules also detail the governance, essential systems services and planning and reporting for Pilbara networks.
The Pilbara Networks Rules include harmonised technical rules which describe the technical performance requirements of the power system, and the obligations of network service providers to provide transmission and distribution systems that will allow these requirements to be achieved.
