Connection enquiry information

Connection Enquiry Dashboard

We track and manage new connection enquiries from initial enquiry through to commissioning. This dashboard provides an aggregated view of our forward pipeline of works by count and size (MW) noting connection types and subtypes, their locations (by planning region), need dates (by Regulatory Control Period) and enquiry stages. You can view the dashboard by clicking the link or image below:

Generation Connection Pipeline

This table lists new generation connection projects as they stand in Transpower's connection management framework.  To improve investment signals for competing developments, this pipeline shows high level information on new generation connections for which Transpower has accepted an application request, as well as those which have previously reached the investigation or delivery stages.

An accepted generation connection application and associated sequence number indicates the order in which Transpower will allocate internal resources to new connection investigations and the order in which Transpower will allocate physical assets (spare Transpower transmission assets and land) at the proposed point of connection. An accepted connection application does not guarantee access to transmission capacity beyond the point of connection and does not guarantee the project will proceed to commissioning.

June update - In response to a recent slowdown we have re-prioritised resources to restart our generation pipeline, initiating a block of new investigations this month.  This does mean it may be some months before we can initiate further generation connection investigations, as we focus resources on other priority projects.

Non-generation Connection Pipeline

This table lists other non-generation customer projects as they stand in Transpower's connection management framework.  To improve visibility of non-generation customer work volumes, this pipeline shows high level information on new non-generation customer projects for which Transpower has received a customer request, as well as those which have previously reached the investigation or delivery stages.

Non-generation customer requests are resourced based on an assessment of the priority of the project, not necessarily in the order requests are received.
