The Victorian Transmission Plan Guidelines

The CEC suggests VicGrid consider these high-level principles when developing the future Victorian Transmission Plan (VTP). Drawing from member experience in Victoria, we propose the following key principles for consideration: 

1. Create an attractive proposition for developers to build in areas marked in the map as suitable by considering the trade-offs between infrastructure, land use, community sentiment and access regime 
2. Build a plan that is not too prescriptive so it can account for changes in what constitutes an optimal generation and storage mix 

Consider how best to develop the REZ network in a robust manner, in terms of the overall optimal design of the REZ transmission network and its integration into the power system as well as its capability to facilitate a range of future outcomes regarding generation and storage.
