Network innovation

Network planning & projectsNetwork innovation

Our role in supplying power to customers has evolved.

Historically, there was a one-way flow of energy sourced from a small number of very large generators and transported through our networks. Now there is a two-way flow of electricity from thousands of smaller generators, most of them private homes with solar panels on their roofs.

So, while we’re continuing to provide reliable, safe and affordable electricity, how we do it now involves significant innovation in managing the increasingly complex and sophisticated system behind it.

Our purpose is to ensure all forms of distributed energy resources – like solar, batteries, smart appliances and electric vehicles – are integrated flexibly into our networks.
