Renewable generation

Working with large-scale wind and solar generation

We support project proponents with data, connection point and technical information in line with national rules.

These projects rely on our assets and infrastructure to supply the power generated. Depending on the size and scale of the development proposed, there are different regulatory considerations.

In each case, our role is to support proponents by:

Providing data and technical information required to develop project business cases
Designing and constructing the connection points and supporting infrastructure required to connect to our network
Liaising with AEMO regarding network access approvals.

We offer connection processes for five types of embedded generation of varying sizes:

Basic micro connections
Low voltage negotiated connections
Low voltage negotiated registered connection
High voltage negotiated connection
High voltage negotiated registered connection
