Western Power uses a proactive scheduling process that aligns developer construction timelines with its own resources, including early nomination of completion dates, progress checks, and timely submission of required information. Once confirmed, energisation is scheduled with a target timeframe of six weeks from receipt of final construction documentation from a developer.
Western Power continues to improve its energisation timeframes, with energisation taking as little as six weeks.
