Working with communities, industry and First Nations people, NSW is leading a once-in-a-generation upgrade of the NSW electricity network. Our plan, the Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap (Roadmap), supports the delivery of a network built on a mix of renewable technologies, including solar and wind, large-scale energy storage, like pumped hydro and big batteries, and new transmission infrastructure.
We are currently investigating targeted reforms to regulate the process to initiate, plan, agree and deliver network-to-network connections in NSW. We will consider how to ensure this process can support the timely and cost-effective delivery of new network infrastructure at the scale and speed necessary for the energy transition while also continuing to provide a safe, stable and secure electricity network. We are considering how best to facilitate joint planning, information sharing and timely delivery of connection works. We will outline our preferred approach by October 2025.
