Current initiatives

Q&A – new generation connections to Victorian transmission system

We have developed a Q&A document providing information on the impact of new generation connections to the Victorian transmission system close to the Ballarat–Waubra–Horsham and Horsham – Red Cliffs 220kV lines.

• New Generator Connections to the Victorian Transmission System, in particular the 220kV lines between BATS-WBTS-HOTS and HOTS-RCTS

Connection process review

AEMO is currently reviewing our internal processes related to network connections. We have interviewed a wide range of parties involved in those processes, and we will be implementing necessary changes soon. Please let us know if you would like to provide comments on this subject.

Connection website and connection documents update

We have restructured and revised our Network Connection webpages to help Connection Applicants navigate to the relevant information and support them further during the connection process. We are still working on the details and further improvements – please bear with us while we finalise this work. In the meantime, we would appreciate your comments.

Past initiatives
