The preparation of technical modelling and connection studies to support a Connection Agreement with a Network Service Provider (NSP) is complex and time consuming – AGL learned that technical modelling and connection studies needed for grid connection can be time consuming.
Report extract
The preparation of technical modelling and connection studies to support a Connection Agreement with a Network Service Provider (NSP) is complex and time consuming.
Implications for future projects:
It is important to allow sufficient time in the project schedule and budget in the project financial model to accommodate preparation of connection studies. The preparation of these studies is an iterative process and studies may need to be revised as the project design evolves. The status of the grid network, including changes in local demand growth and/or transmission line and substation construction projects, may also need to be taken into account.
