Australia's electricity supply chain is undergoing a radical shift, as renewable energy sources take up more of the electricity mix. Electricity transmission forms a key part of the infrastructure underlying this supply chain, transporting high-voltage current from generators to distribution networks, and directly to energy-intensive businesses. Transmission providers function as regional monopolies, with the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) determining their revenue and capital returns in five-year blocks.
Industry revenue has grown at a CAGR of 0.2 % over the past five years, to reach an estimated $3.8bn in 2023.
Market size is projected to grow over the next five years.
