Powercor has published the Project Assessment Draft Report (PADR) for Altona Terminal Station West (ATS-WEST). Publication of this PADR represents the second step in the Regulatory Test for Transmission (RIT-T) process.
There is currently insufficient import capacity to supply the forecast maximum demand at ATS-WEST if a forced outage of a transformer occurs and electrical demand growth in the western growth corridor area is expected to cause exceedance of station capacity by 2033.
Powercor welcomes written submissions on materials contained in this PADR, submissions are due on 29 July 2025.
Submissions can be provided electronically to the following email address rittenquiries@powercor.com.au with the following subject field ‘Attention: ATS West’
