New Grid New Zealand project website for Transpower
Transpower launched its new project website today, www.gridnewzealand.co.nz , which provides easily accessible information on all of Transpower’s proposed and committed projects.
The Grid New Zealand website mirrors the project information set out in Transpower’s Annual Planning Report (APR) which signals proposed and possible transmission investments within a 10-year horizon.
General Manager, Corporate Affairs Cynthia Brophy said that this is the first in a number of initiatives being undertaken by Transpower to make its online communication more comprehensive for its stakeholders, customers and the public.
“The new website allows current and future market participant’s access to a greater degree of information about Transpower’s plans in order to confirm their own. Unlike the Annual Planning Report which can only be updated each year, the Grid New Zealand site will be regularly updated to provide a constant and current snapshot of any transmission project proposed or underway in New Zealand.”
“However, Grid New Zealand is not only useful for market participants. It is also an important resource for communities and landowners who require further information regarding transmission developments in their area.”
Key features of the website include:
- An interactive map which allows users to search for Transpower projects by region, straight off the home page.
- An advanced search engine which offers four search criteria, so that users can find exactly the information they are looking for quickly.
- A subscription service so that frequent users can subscribe to any of Transpower’s projects and be automatically notified when new information is uploaded.
- A ‘one stop shop’ for transmission project information. Each project page allows access to all the information pertinent to that project, including newsletters, media releases and presentations.
