Our Network Access Planning engineers are responsible for assessing, co-ordinating and sanctioning the planned release of assets from the National Electricity Transmission System, NETS, for maintenance and commissioning of new connections and equipment.

We use AC and DC transmission system analysis tools to optimise efficient and economic transmission system access and ensure that throughout all the outage scenarios, the transmission system continues to operate safely within the Security and Quality of Supply Standards.

When all outage planning activities are completed, a fully operable outage plan is handed over to the ENCC (Electricity Network Control Centre) to deliver in real-time time scales,
