Enhanced Locational Information (ELI)

In May 2024, AEMO will publish the first Enhanced Locational Information (ELI) report in response to the ESB’s review into transmission access reform. The ELI report will provide a consolidated set of locational information to inform decisions about where to locate projects in the NEM.

The first ELI report will draw on existing sources of locational information. The report will incorporate data from publications of AEMO, governments, and industry to provide a more complete picture of the locational characteristics of the power system. 

In parallel, AEMO is working with TNSPs through joint planning arrangements to improve the consistency and usefulness of locational information in Transmission Annual Planning Reports.

The ELI timeline below provides stakeholders with the key milestones.
