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.
