VicGrid
We are responsible for planning transmission and renewable energy zones in Victoria and are taking a new approach.
On 1 November 2025, responsibility for planning Victoria's transmission network transferred from the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) to VicGrid. This includes the declared shared network and all associated declared network functions. From this date, AEMO's transmission network service provider role ended in Victoria.
VicGrid is responsible for:
- coordinating the planning and development of renewable energy zones
- planning the declared shared network and all associated functions
- changing the way electricity transmission infrastructure is planned and developed in Victoria to ensure it benefits all Victorians through the Victorian Transmission Investment Framework
- delivering the transmission projects set out in the Victorian Transmission Plan
- coordinating the delivery of the transmission required to connect new offshore wind resources to the grid
- overseeing the delivery of current major transmission projects underway in Victoria
- investing $480 million in projects to strengthen and modernise Victoria's energy grid
- providing information to communities.
