Ausgrid’s Post

Ausgrid’s Fatima Bazzi, Group Executive - Customer, joined CEDA’s ‘Data Centres and NSW’s Digital Future’ event yesterday to discuss one of the critical enablers of the state’s digital economy: connecting data centres to the electricity network in a way that is coordinated, efficient and fair for customers. As demand for AI, cloud computing and sovereign data capability accelerates, NSW has a significant opportunity to strengthen its position as Australia’s digital capital. The right approach to energy infrastructure will be essential to unlocking that growth. Fatima shared her perspective on how smarter location decisions, precinct planning and early coordination between government, industry, councils and utilities can help make better use of existing network capacity, reducing unnecessary infrastructure build, and providing the investment certainty the market needs. Thank you to CEDA - Committee for Economic Development of Australia for the opportunity to contribute to the conversation on NSW’s digital future. 👉 We are currently consulting with stakeholders on our energy services plans, including data centre connections.
