New England REZ Access Scheme

In August 2025, EnergyCo published the New England Renewable Energy Zone Generation and Storage Consultation Paper, outlining proposed design features under consideration for a potential access scheme, a connection assets model and the provision of system strength for the New England REZ.

We are currently reviewing submissions to inform the next stages of detailed design, shaping how we approach generation and storage for the New England REZ.

Webinar

We hosted a public webinar on 26 August 2025 to provide stakeholders with an overview of the paper and key design questions, and provide an opportunity to participate in a Q&A.
