Adaptation Planning
No actions specific to climate change adaptation.
ElectraNet’s Network 2035 Vision sets out the framework for the development and
operation of South Australia’s electricity transmission network over the next 25
years. Two key objectives include:
o
Ensure safe, secure, reliable supply - A safe, secure and reliable network
focused on resilience against natural disasters and extreme weather
events that assures both community safety and secure electricity supply
for South Australia.
o
Support development of lower emission energy sources - A network to
support the continued development of South Australia’s low emission
energy resources by providing the link between remote generation
sources and major load centres.
It recognises climate change mitigation and adaptation as key factors that will
influence the development of the transmission network over the long term.
