Australia's biggest DNSP is not happy that Transgrid is maxing out its network capacity, and not passing on cost savings, or talking to its new "peers" about planning.

In June, Transgrid said its Western Sydney network is almost full after it cleared 1.5 gigawatts (GW) of data centres to connect, and said it’s “in advanced discussions” over another 8 GW of prospective load.

The general rule of them is that network costs are fixed and divided by the number of customers. Given the boost in data centres, Ausgrid, which runs the poles and wires that take electricity from transmission lines to homes and businesses, wants to see the benefits of that improved network use now.

    Im sure these data center owners will throw some money at some politicians like cheap prostitutes to create new laws to make everyone else bear the brunt of socializing the expenses so they can keep privatizing the profits.
