Transpower is planning a major capex proposal to investigate maintaining a reliable electricity supply in the Western Bay of Plenty.
Transpower has identified an investment need to appropriately address the transmission capacity and constraints related to forecast demand growth and development in the rapidly growing Western Bay of Plenty region.
On 6 July 2023, Transpower and the Commission agreed to a consultation programme, approval timeframe and approach to considering non-transmission solutions. As Transpower develops the project, Transpower and the Commission will review the timeframes as necessary.
