Charting a Course for Clean, Reliable, and Affordable Energy

The New South Wales (NSW) Government's Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap is a visionary 20-year plan aimed at transforming the state's electricity system into one that is cheap, clean, and reliable. This roadmap lays the foundation for future generations to enjoy more secure, sustainable, and affordable electricity, marking a significant commitment to both environmental stewardship and economic growth.

Driving the Transition to Renewable Energy

The Roadmap is centered around the goal of facilitating at least 12 gigawatts of new renewable electricity generation and 2 gigawatts of long-duration storage, such as pumped hydro. It represents a comprehensive strategy to coordinate investment in transmission, generation, storage, and firming infrastructure, especially as NSW transitions away from aging coal-fired power plants.
