What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

EnergyCo is pursuing a 305-kilometre transmission corridor through New England, a region where the company operates under regulatory scrutiny. The company outlines a process that prefers negotiated agreements but could lead to compulsory acquisition of land. A legal challenge has been mounted questioning the validity of the Renewable Energy Zone declaration made in December 2021. This challenge was initiated by three landholders in the Walcha and Gundy districts regarding costing requirements.
