In this episode, host Sarah Aubrey speaks with Kelly Wood, Group Executive for Transmission Development & Growth at Ausgrid and Mark Westbrook, Chief Project Officer at EnergyCo about how upgrading existing sub-transmission corridors in the Hunter Central Coast REZ could unlock faster, cheaper and more community-friendly renewable energy capacity. They explore the opportunities, challenges and long-term planning needed to reshape NSW’s grid; from smarter use of existing easements to coordinated state-wide planning for both transmission and distribution.
