System Performance Engineers to help design and coordinate the dynamic performance of our evolving network, including existing and future assets connected to it.

TasNetworks is the Transmission and Distribution Network Service Provider in the state of Tasmania.

We own, operate and maintain over $3.5 billion in assets and deliver competitive electricity supply services to more than 295,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers.

As the Jurisdictional Planner, TasNetworks is not only playing a significant role in helping facilitate operation of the energy market today, but is also at the forefront of preparing the network to help integrate future developments including significant renewable energy generation projects and hydrogen production facilities.

We live and work by our vision ' to be trusted by our customers to deliver today and create a better tomorrow '.Tasmania has set ambitious goals aimed at growing the local economy as well as supporting the energy transition now underway across the National Electricity Market.

The Tasmanian Renewable Energy Target (TRET) requires the installation of approximately 3,000 megawatts of new wind generation by 2040, with at least half of the equivalent energy production to be delivered by the end of 2030.

This will be supported by the installation of additional interconnector capacity between Tasmania and Victoria in the form of a new HVDC link (Project Marinus), as well as significant AC network reinforcements across our transmission network.

We are currently planning for all of these future developments as well as managing day to day operation of the existing network, which features ever increasing amounts of Consumer Energy Resources.

In simple terms, our role is to help turn an ambitious plan, an exciting future, into reality.
