'ElectraNet’s high-voltage transmission network is a strategic asset, underpinning our state’s positive economic development, and the prosperity of the South Australian community.'

'And we currently have over 150 engineers working on an incredible number of major capital projects – to reinforce and expand the electricity transmission network to meet the rapidly growing demand for power in this state.'

'ElectraNet is also currently the largest connector of wind generation in Australia.'
