EnergyAustralia has identified that there are emerging distribution network capacity issues in the Greenacre Park and Sefton load area and that corrective action will be required in the future to maintain the technical and service requirements set in accordance with Schedule 5.1 of the National Electricity Rules. This report contains a final recommendation to address the projected limitation of the distribution system in this area.
EnergyAustralia has issued a Distribution Network Consultation Paper – “Establish New Potts Hill Zone Substation“ on the 2nd May 2008. No submissions were received regarding that paper. Accordingly the preliminary recommendation has been adopted.
This report has been published and will be available on the EnergyAustralia website until the 28th December 2008.

The report recommends the Development of Potts Hill Zone as a 132/11kV substation and associated sub-transmission and distribution works at a cost of $42.6M with completion in late 2010.
