Alternative Transmission Planning Arrangements: Ensuring Nationally Coordinated Decision-Making
1 May 2012
By Ann Whitfield and Victoria Mollard with Anna Collyer and Fergus Green of Allens
NERA and Allens were asked by the Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) to develop an alternative transmission planning framework for the National Electricity Market (NEM). The focus of this alternative framework is on ensuring national coordination of planning across the NEM. Specifically, a nationally coordinated approach ensures that the choice of options being considered for investment includes all relevant options, and is not limited by jurisdictional boundaries.
