The NSW Government has published a network hosting capacity opportunities map on the Department of Customer Services’ NSW Spatial Collaboration Portal.
The map highlights where available capacity exists in the distribution network. Providing this information in one place makes it easier for proponents to identify connection opportunities for additional renewable energy generation and storage.
The publication of this map delivers on part of the NSW Government's response to the Electricity Supply and Reliability Check Up (PDF, 4.3 MB). Increasing utilisation of existing electricity networks with new renewable generation connections provides another avenue to improve electricity reliability in NSW.

The map data is updated annually by the distribution network businesses, based on their annual reporting requirements, and is forecast data until 2035. The map does not show live updates.
For project developers
Renewable energy and storage developers can use the map to guide their enquiries about siting their project on the distribution network. For further information about the data or how to progress potential projects please get in touch with the relevant distribution business directly.
