The Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan identifies a number of transmission projects as critical to the transformation of Queensland’s energy system. These are called PTI projects.
Eligible PTIs are identified in the Queensland SuperGrid Infrastructure Blueprint that accompanies the Queensland Energy and Jobs Plan.
The Blueprint will be updated over time. The next review by the Queensland government will be by May 2025, and at further intervals of two years.
