Electricity supply is reliable and there is a comfortable margin of excess power.
The Power and Water Authority provides electricity services in all three industry sectors generation, transmission and distribution. Generation PAWA s generation plant consists mainly of gas and liquid fuel driven turbines, ensuring the Territory has one of the lowest rates of greenhouse gas emissions from electricity generation in the world. The Authority also supplies power to smaller centres across the Territory from small local power stations. Transmission Transmission refers to the infrastructure that transports electricity from generation sites to distribution points. The power stations in Darwin and Katherine are linked by a 132kV-transmission line operated by NT Power.
