Mandurah Load Area

We often read about CCE's so called pipeline, perhaps they do have more going on behind the scenes than we are aware of?

This Western Power initiative looks to be something CCE would be interested in.  Even though submissions were called for in 2016, it got a mention in the parliamentary report posted by Wade, so it must still be alive.

"Western Power is seeking submissions from non-network solution proponents in relation to network capacity constraints in the Mandurah load area. Consideration of non-network options is an important aspect of Western Power’s obligation to deliver a reliable electricity network service at the lowest possible cost. This is because in some cases, non-network solutions may be more cost efficient than investing in network assets with long asset lives that may not reach full utilisation.

Located 80 km south of Perth City, the Mandurah load area includes the southern metropolitan coastal strip bound by Safety Bay Road in the north, Mandurah and Harvey Estuary in the south and extends to encompass Pinjarra. Supply to the Mandurah load area comes from 132 kV transmission lines in the north via Rockingham (RO) zone substation and from the east via Pinjarra (PNJ) zone substation. The neighbouring Kwinana and Bunbury load areas supply the area with the bulk of its power."
