Description:

Responsibilities:

  • Ensure the development of long-term and short-term investment proposals with alignment to the 50-year outlook, network investment strategy and asset strategies that permit the network expansion to proceed in a coordinated manner with due consideration to planning criteria, operational constraints, funding, resource availability, and external works such as new load and generation connections.
  • Develop and maintain a detailed short to medium term plan (up to 10 years). Develop the Business Outlook considering Asset, Growth, Reliability, Power Quality and major customer connections in a localised geographical area. Identify and articulate the business risk of not proceeding with projects and the benefits to Western Power and the community that can be achieved by carrying out the solution augmentation.
  • Develop concept solutions (network and non-network) to resolve constraints in a timely and economical manner and develop appropriate candidates with planning reports documented to underpin the justification for initiating the relevant investment. Ensure the development of robust, high quality business case documents that withstand the test of financial and commercial credibility.
  • Perform risk assessment, including development of contingency plans to deal with the risks associated with systems operating conditions beyond the Planning Criteria, unplanned delays of network reinforcements, unforeseen load connections and provide an operational planning service to ensure mitigation strategies are in place for peak periods, as well as providing technical advice to Network Operations in areas of network limitations and settings.
  • Apply, review and revise the Technical rules, policies and guidelines for network investment, and Planning Criteria.
