Strategic planning of our power system is crucial to making smart, informed decisions in the long-term interests of Victorian energy consumers.

VicGrid is undertaking this Western Metropolitan Melbourne Reinforcement regulatory investment test for transmission (RIT-T) to assess the technical and economic benefit of credible options to manage over- and under-voltages in the metropolitan Melbourne area.

Project assessment conclusions report

The Project assessment conclusions report (PACR) was published on 13 December 2024, which is the final report of this RIT-T.

The PACR presents the RIT-T proponent's preferred solution, considering submissions to the PADR, which is the credible option that maximises the present value of net economic benefit to all those who produce, consume and transport electricity in the national electricity market.

Project assessment draft report

The Project assessment draft report (PADR) for this Metropolitan Melbourne Voltage Management RIT-T on 26 July 2024, which represents step two of the public consultation process for this RIT-T.

The PADR assesses and identifies the draft preferred investment option which delivers the greatest net market benefits.

PADR webinar

On 26 August 2024, a webinar was held to inform stakeholders of the key elements of the Metropolitan Melbourne Voltage Management PADR. The slides presented on the day are available.

Two confidential submissions were received for the PSCR.

We're committed to working with industry, government, investors and consumers to secure and shape Victoria's energy future in the long-term interests of consumers.
