The Challenge
Meet peak power demand to overcome potential grid reliability
The holiday area of Mornington in Australia was struggling to cope with the power demands of peak holiday season. A limited transmission line was at the heart of the inability to cope with the power levels necessary, leaving United Energy looking for other options.
If no solution could be found, power outages and load shedding would impact tourism in the area, making longerlasting ramifications.
