Sean Keniry's Company Details
Powerlink Queensland (Powerlink) is a leading Australian provider of high voltage electricity transmission network services, combining innovation with insight to deliver safe, cost-effective and reliable solutions. We are a Government Owned Corporation (GOC) that owns, develops, operates and maintains the high voltage electricity transmission network in Queensland. Our network extends 1,700 kilometres (km) from Cairns to the New South Wales (NSW) border and comprises 15,449 circuit km of transmission lines and 152 substations. Our purpose is to connect Queenslanders to a world-class energy future, providing electricity to more than five million Queenslanders and 241,000 businesses. Through our unique central position in the power system, we are guiding the market to help influence the energy system of the future – one that effectively balances customer needs, while transforming to a lower carbon future comprising a diverse array of generation and storage technologies including large-scale wind and solar developments, batteries, pumped hydro and gas turbines. Powerlink’s network serves as the platform for the provision of energy services while maintaining a sharp focus on safety, affordability and reliability of supply for our customers. As well as connecting large generators to end-use customers through the distribution networks owned by Energex and Ergon Energy (part of the Energy Queensland Group), and Essential Energy (in northern NSW), we also provide electricity directly to large industrial customers such as rail companies, mines and mineral processing facilities. As a Transmission Network Service Provider (TNSP), we link to the National Electricity Market (NEM) via the Queensland/NSW Interconnector (QNI) transmission line. Most of Powerlink’s network is regulated by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) under the National Electricity Law and the National Electricity Rules (NER).
