This Regulatory Investment Test for Distribution (RIT-D) arises because there is insufficient thermal capacity in the Brunswick - Fairfield 22 kV subtransmission loop to supply the forecast load.

Non-network options report

This document is Jemena’s Brunswick - Fairfield 22 kV subtransmission loop capacity constraint, and is an initial step in our engagement with non-network proponents in addressing the identified need in relation to the Brunswick - Fairfield subtransmission loop.
