About the Transmission Stakeholder Advisory Panel

The Transmission Stakeholder Advisory Panel (TSAP), previously known as the Transmission Customer Advisory Panel (TCAP) was established as part of the stakeholder engagement undertaken while AusNet was preparing for the TRR 2022-2027. Since the TRR 2022-2027 engagement process concluded in early 2022, the panel has continued to meet regularly with AusNet. These meetings help to keep AusNet informed on energy users evolving needs, views and preferences and provide update on progress delivering the TRR 2022-2027 works program and evolutions of the industry.

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.

Our 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.

Membership

The panel includes representatives from directly connected customers, consumer advocates, generators and other Victorian energy distributors. Members include:

  • Alcoa
  • Australian Energy Council
  • Australian Industry Group (Ai Group)

  • Citipower, Powercor & United Energy
  • Energy Users Association of Australia (EUAA)
  • Jemena
