Power
The electricity supply to the region is provided by Powerlink Queensland's 132kV network and 132/22kV substations, and by Ergon Energy's 22kV network supplied from those substations. The electric power flows from generation stations all over Queensland, through Powerlink's transmission grid, into Ergon Energy's and Energex's distributions grids, to supply customers.
Both Powerlink and Ergon Energy plan to develop their networks to ensure there is adequate present and future capacity for any new customer loads.
