What happened

Electricity transmission constraints are highlighted as a key factor that shapes renewable energy project execution and influences power procurement and pricing outcomes during the energy transition.

Background and earlier position

Renewable energy is often generated in regions that are not the same as major consumption centres. Transmission infrastructure provides the route for delivering renewable power into the wider grid, so grid and evacuation capacity limits can affect whether procured power can be delivered as planned.

What changed now

The emphasis is placed on transmission constraints as a central reason behind execution and procurement realities, rather than treating renewable generation capacity and grid infrastructure as separate issues.
