About the Transmission Stakeholder Advisory Panel

The Transmission Stakeholder Advisory Panel (TSAP) plays a vital role in shaping AusNet’s Transmission Revenue Reset 2027 - 2032. Transmission planning is highly technical and complex, with long-term implications for energy reliability, affordability, and sustainability. To support this process, AusNet has brought together a panel of experts from across the energy sector, including consumer advocacy, infrastructure delivery, retail, generation, distribution, and large-scale industrial energy users. Each panel member brings deep knowledge and real-world experience to the table, helping to ask the right questions and incorporate a broad range of perspectives - especially those of Victorian energy users. Their insights are helping AusNet develop a proposal that delivers the best possible outcomes for customers, now and into the future.

To engage on the TRR 2027-2032, TSAP members will meet as a stand-alone panel (with and potentially without AusNet) and will be expected to participate in select broader engagement activities, including “deep dives” on select topics with broader stakeholder groups.

TSAP's role in the TRR 2027-2032

AusNet owns and operates the electricity transmission network in Victoria. The role of the transmission network is to transport electricity from large coal, gas and renewable generators across Victoria and interstate, to terminal stations that supply large customers and the distribution networks. Those networks then deliver the electricity to households and businesses. Our transmission network spans 6,620 kilometres, serving 6.6 million Victorians, and helps to connect power to NSW, South Australia and Tasmania.

AusNet's approach to customer and stakeholder engagement for the 2027-32 TRR involves an overarching Transmission Stakeholder Advisory Panel. The TSAP’s role is to:

• provide credible, evidence-based insights and advice that enable AusNet to better understand its customer and stakeholders’ diverse needs, circumstances, perspectives, interests, and preferences, in the context of the TRR 2027-2032

• engage constructively with other members and AusNet to provide feedback on economic and technical regulatory inputs to the Revenue Proposals, such as expenditure forecasts.
