Asset Reinvestment Review

Powerlink is undertaking a review of its asset reinvestment approach and criteria to ensure consistency with sound asset management and risk-based decision frameworks. The review is an opportunity for continuous improvement to deliver further benefits for customers.

We have established the Asset Reinvestment Review Working Group consisting of three members of our Customer Panel, customer advocates, the AER and Powerlink subject matter experts.

The purpose of the group is to consider key aspects of our Asset Reinvestment approach and develop a report with potential recommendations for implementation.
