Sydney's South

EnergyAustralia will invest more than $1.3 billion dollars in Sydney’s south in the five years to 2012 to maintain and improve the region’s electricity network.

Our record investment program is designed to improve reliability for customers and cater for continued growth in demand and includes a major focus on asset replacement.

Growth in this region is being driven by industrial expansion in Kurnell and Chullora, high density housing developments around Hurstville, Arncliffe and along the Harbour in the inner west, together with the increasing use of air conditioning generally in the community.

There are also pockets of high growth around Darling Harbour, Clovelly-Randwick and in particular the Green Square area where there has been rapid rise in electricity demand from new commercial and residential developments.
