MARKET

Connecting the Future – Infrastructure

==> picture [338 x 268] intentionally omitted <==

  • AEMO’s Integrated System Plan underlines the scale of infrastructure in the next two decades to replace and cope with a huge increase in demand ; driven by economic growth, green industries and electrification of homes, businesses and cars.

  • AEMO’s step change scenario requires around 5,000 km of new transmission lines to be built over the next decade – and half of this is

  • already under construction. The total requirement for step change out to 2050 is ~ 10,000 km.

  • The 2024 ISP includes the fast-tracking of seven transmission projects that are now deemed “actionable”; confirming that Tasmania’s Northwest Transmission Development (NWTD), and the capacity upgrade for the infrastructure between Waddamana and Palmerston (WA-PA) are critical components for the national transition.

==> picture [378 x 102] intentionally omitted <==

  • The Western Australia South West Interconnected System Demand Assessment’s 'Future Ready' scenario shows peak demand would almost triple by 2042, requiring an additional 4,000km of transmission capacity.

MARKET

Australia is undergoing a renewables step-change

  • The National Electricity Market’s (NEM’s) transition to higher renewables continues to occur at pace. Actual installed renewable capacity is tracking above the fastest Step Change scenario originally envisioned in the 2020 Integrated System Plan (ISP)*.

  • The ISP requires building close to 10,000 km of new transmission lines and upgrades to existing networks by 2050 to connect new generation across the power system.

  • These transmission projects are projected to reduce costs for consumers by delivering benefits that would recoup their $16 billion investment costs, save consumers a further $18.5 billion in avoided costs, and deliver emissions reductions valued at $3.3 billion.
