How we work with landholders

Landholders host critical energy infrastructure that will power NSW’s future. We need strong relationships with host landholders to ensure that infrastructure can operate safely and reliably.

Legislation protects landholders’ rights to use and enjoy their land, and landholders are entitled to compensation if EnergyCo acquires rights to also use their land.

We work with landholders to locate  infrastructure so that it minimises the impacts on their property and livelihood, and to determine fair compensation for any required acquisition.
