Customer Panel Terms of Reference

Reference Group

As part of the 2027-32 Revenue Determination process, we’ve formed a Revenue Proposal Reference Group with members of our Customer Panel.

This smaller group enables deeper, more frequent engagement to provide detailed customer input into Powerlink’s Revenue Proposal.

Customer Panel

Members were introduced to Powerlink Queensland’s new Chief Executive, Dr Seán Mc Goldrick, and received updates on major investment activities in Central Queensland, including the Gladstone Project, system strength requirements, and preparations for a contingent project application for four synchronous condensers. Members also received a report back on how their feedback had influenced the design of the upcoming Central Queensland Transmission Network Forum and participated in a customer-led discussion on opportunities and barriers associated with flexible load services. The discussion explored how greater flexibility from transmission-connected customers could potentially reduce future network investment needs and improve network utilisation, while recognising the practical, commercial, and regulatory considerations that would need to be addressed. Members also received an update on the 2027–32 Revenue Proposal and upcoming engagement activities.

Customer Panel

The meeting included a presentation on Powerlink Queensland’s 2027–32 Revenue Proposal, outlining key drivers and trade‑offs. Members discussed affordability, deliverability, and long‑term resilience, and tested how these considerations intersect, including implications for future engagement. The Revenue Proposal Reference Group provided an update to the panel, including a report‑back on its draft view that the proposal is capable of acceptance, and clarified the scope and limits of its role as the Australian Energy Regulator’s assessment continues. The panel also contributed to early thinking on how future regional forums could be designed to support shared understanding in regions experiencing significant change.
