The Regulated Electricity System Investment Plan (RESIP) is a 10 year whole-of-system investment plan, from July 2025, for the NT’s regulated electricity systems, which covers the Darwin-Katherine Electricity System (DKES), the Alice Springs Power System (ASPS) and Tennant Creek Power System (TCPS). The RESIP will outline the requirements for achieving a new generation mix that balances cost-effectiveness, system security, reliability requirements and achieve the NTG 50% renewable energy target.
The RESIP has developed the draft Inputs, Assumption and Scenario Report (IASR). The draft IASR and appendix datasheets is a culmination of work from RESIP engagements with system participants in 2023 and more recent data collection from stakeholders.
The intent of the IASR is to consolidate and document the data that will be an input for the modelling of the RESIP to determine the investments required in the NT regulated power systems to satisfy capacity, system security and reliability requirements. The completion of the RESIP (for which the IASR is an input) is December 2024.
