Distribution and Transmission Annual Planning Report for 2025

This 2025 Distribution and Transmission Annual Planning Report (DTAPR) presents the results of Ausgrid’s annual planning review of both its distribution and transmission (dual function asset) network conducted since the publication of the previous DTAPR. This year, the DTAPR has a summary report to enhance the communication of Ausgrid’s key business strategies to the community and market participants.

• information on Ausgrid’s distribution assets planning process, covering a minimum five-year forward planning period
• the results of Ausgrid’s annual planning review, asset conditions and other limitations of sub-transmission and distribution assets and the potential credible solutions to address these limitations
• third parties the opportunity to offer alternative proposals to identified network needs, including non-network solutions such as demand management or embedded generation
• timely indication of the planned commencement dates for projects that will be subject the regulatory investment test for distribution. Find out more about this process here.
