You’re Invited to express interest to join the TasNetworks People’s Panel
Tasmania’s electricity needs are changing. Our networks and customers are evolving. The way we invest in our network affects every household and business in Tasmania.
Together, we need to work out a fair balance between pricing and services for everyone in Tasmania, as we shape what power services will look like in our state.
The 50-member panel will answer this important challenge:
How can we deliver safe and sustainable electricity for all Tasmanians into the future ?
The panel's work is important. It will help ensure that TasNetworks’ plans are supporting the Tasmania of today, while planning for the changing needs of tomorrow.
