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.
Some of the key factors driving demand growth in this region of Sydney are commercial expansion around Macquarie Park and Terrey Hills, major infrastructure projects such as the Chatswood-Parramatta Rail Link, high density residential developments in Hornsby-Berowra, together with the increasing use of air conditioning generally in the community.
