Ergon Energy is meeting the challenges of an ongoing growth environment with a $5.6 billion capital works investment taking place in the current five-year regulatory period from 2011-2016.
That is in addition to $1.9 billion that will be spent on maintenance, vegetation management and asset inspections over the same period.
This investment will deliver a significant increase in capacity available across the state and supports the continued economic growth and prosperity of regional Queensland, where booming industrial development, population growth and increasing air-conditioning loads continue to drive demand.
