Distribution System Planning: Untapping the full potential of the grid

The DSP represents an incredible collaboration between Ausgrid, Endeavour Energy and Essential Energy to understand how distribution networks can play a bigger role in meeting NSW’s net zero targets.   Sarah Aubrey is joined by Ausgrid’s Alida Jansen van Vuuren, Endeavour’s Melissa Doueihi and Essential’s Marc Thiebaut to explore how better use of existing poles, wires and sub-transmission infrastructure can unlock billions in value, defer transmission investment, support local storage, and help deliver a more equitable transition for customers across the state.   With insights into community batteries, orchestration of rooftop solar and the future role of networks as system operators, this episode shows why distribution is becoming one of the most important levers in shaping the future grid.
