New England Renewable Energy Zone Network Infrastructure Project

Location: New England Region, NSW
Client: Energy Corporation of NSW
Start date: 2024
Completion date: Ongoing

The Energy Corporation of NSW (EnergyCo) is leading in delivery of Renewable Energy Zones (REZ) as part of the NSW Government’s Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap.

REZs are the modern-day equivalent of traditional power stations. They combine generation, transmission, storage and system strength services to ensure a secure, affordable and reliable energy system. They will play a crucial role in delivering affordable energy to help replace the State’s existing power stations as they retire over the next 15 years.

The New England REZ is one of the five REZs being delivered by EnergyCo, and will be serviced by new transmission network infrastructure, including transmission lines and energy hubs, which will transfer power generated by solar and wind farms to electricity consumers.

Bellgrove Advisory, supporting Bureau Veritas, is assisting EnergyCo by providing transaction management services for the New England REZ and to appoint a Network Operator. Bellgrove Advisory is also providing Interface Management Services in the Coordination Group.

Services provided:

• Commercial and transaction management advisory services

• Interface and Project Management services
