Social licence for transmission development

With several major electricity transmission developments underway, social licence to operate is crucial to appropriately balance the need to transition to renewables with the need to minimise any adverse impacts of transmission developments on communities and landowners. 

CutlerMerz has been at the heart of supporting the industry and community in this area, by partnering with market bodies, governments, transmission developers and community, to design, implement and track transformation plans to achieve and maintain social licence to operate.

While there is more work to be done, it is incredibly heartening to see how all key stakeholders have come together with an open mind and meaningful communication to resolve the complex issues at hand.
