Find out how we are planning the electricity network of the future in our Distribution Annual Planning Report (DAPR) (PDF 7.4 mb).
The DAPR covers a five year period from 2015-16 to 2019-20 and outlines our strategies and plans for regional Queensland. In particular, the DAPR and supporting information below include:
- Planning for subtransmission and distribution network growth
- Asset repair and replacement planning
- Planning for future demand on the network
- Capacity and load forecasts by region
- Current and future limitations on our subtransmission and distribution networks
- Possible solutions for network limitations.
If you have comments or feedback on the DAPR please email us.
