AUSGRID SURVEY

Recently SIRA and WPCA representatives have met with representatives of Ausgrid to listen to their plans and ideas regarding the Scotland Island and West Pittwater reliability project that is currently underway.

We were impressed with the amount of work that is being undertaken and the range of options Ausgrid is looking at. We were also told that the project has a high profile within the organisation and we therefore encourage that our community approaches the subject with a positive and open mind. The options under investigation range from additional submarine cabling to community solar and battery storage.

You may have received a letter and paper copy of a survey in your P.O Box. We are happy to let you know that there is also an online version of the survey. We encourage every one to fill this out. The more survey responses, the better the solution can be tailored to our needs.
