Rozelle substation upgrade

Augrid is upgrading the existing Rozelle substation to cater for the power needs of current and future major customers and for future infrastructure development in the area.

Construction of the new switchroom building began in August 2019 and will continue until late 2021 or early 2022.  This will be followed by the installation of electrical equipment inside the substation.  The Project is due for completion in late 2023.

Ausgrid is the approving authority for the work under the NSW Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979. As part of the approval process, an environmental assessment was prepared for the project.

Construction began in August 2019 and involves installing the new switchroom building and two new transformer bays. The first transformer bay is being built as part of the upgrade work.

Work by these customers to connect to the substation will not being carried out by Ausgrid. Each customer will provide information about their connection in the coming years, as appropriate.

The final design for the new building can be viewed at the top right hand side of this page. The design is based on community consultation undertaken in 2018.
