Energy transition

In a transitioning grid, the challenges are changing but the goal remains the same. Australia’s electricity system is changing fast. The grid used to be a one-way flow from large generators to consumers. Today, it is two-way and far more dynamic, shaped by rooftop solar, new technologies and new demand.

For many decades, planning for electricity networks was based on relatively predictable and stable patterns of demand and supply. But the energy transition has changed that, reshaping where and how energy is both produced and used.

As more renewables are connecting to the system and more coal units set to retire in the coming years, we are facing unprecedented challenges to maintain the security and reliability of an increasingly complex and volatile power system.

The renewable energy transition offers a potent opportunity to energise our job market. In this article we highlight the job-creating potential of renewables and the variety of career opportunities that we offer at Transgrid.

Learn about the pivotal role of Renewable Energy Zones (REZ) in reshaping NSW’s energy landscape, and explore how Transgrid is at the forefront of this effort.

In this article, we will explore the skill challenges in clean energy industries, the government's initiatives to address the shortage, the benefits of investing in clean energy skills, and Transgrid's commitment to creating job opportunities in the renewable energy sector.

Electricity comes on at the flick of a switch to enable our modern lives. This energy comes into your home from generation, through transmission and distribution. But in order to understand how electricity gets to you, we need to first take a look at how electricity is generated.

Transmission is essential to connect renewable energy generation to the power grid, and into your homes and businesses. Find out why there will be no clean energy transition without transmission, and why we are making it happen now.
