Brunswick to Stratford Capacity Investigation

What we're doing

We need to continually operate, maintain and develop New Zealand's transmission network – the National Grid – to ensure we meet the ongoing electricity needs of New Zealanders.

Transpower is carrying out an investigation into the capacity requirements between our Brunswick and Stratford substations in Taranaki.  Depending on outcome, this may result in a major capex proposal to the Commerce Commission to replace conductor, remove or build a new line.
