Plans are advancing by ElectraNet to boost the capacity for electricity flows between South Australia and Victoria. The company has sought public feedback on options including an upgrade to the Heywood substation in Victoria and sites in south-east South Australia, which would increase capacity by 40%.
Rainer Korte from ElectraNet says an upgrade of the system could boost power supplies from Victoria to South Australia when demand is high, and into Victoria when too much wind power is produced for SA demand. "Those inter-regional links or interstate links impact on the operation of the market and the power system with the whole state impacted", he said. "People in the south-east should benefit, so should everyone else".
