Powering Perth's Communities

On Wednesday 28 April we held a community session to provide an update on the Powering Perth's Communities project. We had our Planning Projects Manager Marc on hand to share with the group the reasons why the project has been deferred and also to outline the plans for the South West Transmission Reinforcement project.

One of the messages Marc shared with us was the level of uncertainty around planning projects so far the future given the number of external influences on our network, for example the location of proposed new generators and where the demand for electricity is located.

You can read the project update here and feel free to submit any questions you may have on the blog and we will source the answers for you from our subject matter experts.

Many questions raised on the evening by the community were around what the future will look like for the energy industry. If you are interested in this I recommend you read Western Power's submission to the Strategic Energy Initiative. We would love to hear what your thoughts are on the Strategic Energy Initiative and whether you made a submission.
