Energex has identified through forward planning, future network limitations in the Port of Brisbane area. To ensure we continue to provide a safe and reliable electricity supply well into the future, Energex initiated a program of action in accordance with Schedule 5.1 of the National Electricity Rules.
In accordance with clause 11.50.5 of the National Electricity Rules, Energex has conducted a Regulatory Test to analyse and assess the efficiency of new network augmentation investments and non-network alternative options that address the projected network limitations.
In accordance with the Rules, Energex invited submissions from Registered Participants and interested parties in the associated Consultation Report.
No submissions were received within the consultation period.
Accordingly the draft recommendation, contained in the Consultation Report, has been finalised and is outlined in the Final Report - "Proposed Augmentation in the Port of Brisbane Area to Establish New 33/11 kV Zone Substation” - which is available to affected Registered Participants, AEMO and interested parties on the Energex website via the link below:
Final Report
The report recommends Energex establish a new 33/11 kV zone substation at Fisherman Island Bulk Supply site and de-commission a dedicated customer zone substation, for a total estimated cost of $16,687,721 at 2013/14 prices. The target completion date for the recommended development is April 2015.
In accordance with the Rules, Registered Participants may dispute the recommendation within 40 working days of its publication. Submissions in this regard are due Tuesday 10 June 2014.
