Our first consultation looked at what Aotearoa will look in 2050 – our economy, our population, how we’ll live, work and play – so that we can understand the kind of electricity infrastructure we’re going to need to support that future.
How will we be living in 2050? What will our biggest exports be? Where will energy be generated? Where will we use it most?
Transpower needs to understand how Aotearoa might look in 2050 so we have time to plan and build the national electricity grid needed to help deliver that future.
We’re using the information we gathered to build and publish a grid blueprint for the future, to guide Transpower’s investments in the national electricity grid and the way we manage the electricity system. The grid blueprint will also support industry and those in the energy sector with their long-term planning.
