WA has lacked a single view of the power system, with separate network and generation planning. The Whole of System Plan for the south west has been developed to fill this gap. The Plan:
- Identifies the best options for investment in our power system, to maintain security andreliability at the lowest sustainable cost
- Assists in the transition to a lower-emissions power system by guiding the efficient integrationof renewable generation and identifying opportunities for energy storage, which will play anincreasing role in meeting our essential electricity needs
- Provides guidance to regulators and industry regarding efficient power system investment,and to policymakers on the future needs of the power system
