Community consultation
Listening to community members and understanding their priorities is key to bringing the customer perspective.
Public consultation is an important part of transparent decision-making. We welcome feedback on the following projects to help determine their direction and ensure we are meeting customer and industry needs.
Clean Energy Link - Northern Terminal - Neerabup Terminal 330kV transmission line
Western Power is proposing a new overhead 330kV transmission line between Northern Terminal and Neerabup Terminal to increase the flow of electricity between Perth and the Mid West region. The proposal is located approximately 13 km north of Perth in the City of Swan and City of Wanneroo. This will enable the connection of more wind and solar generation, and strengthen the backbone of the network to support a cleaner and more reliable energy system for our community.
We've prepared an Environmental review document in accordance with EPA procedures, and it is now released for public review. This document describes the proposal, the likely environmental impacts, and proposed management measures.
Copies of the Northern Terminal to Neerabup Terminal 330kV Transmission Line proposal can be downloaded from the Environmental Protection Authority Western Australia (EPA).
Copies will also be available for examination at:
- Ballajura Public Library
- Wanneroo Public Library
- State Library of Western Australia.
We invite you to have your say by submitting comments or queries by 22 December 2025 to the Environmental Protection Authority Western Australia (EPA). If you have any questions on how to make a submission, please contact EPA Services, Department of Water and Environmental Regulation, on (08) 6364 7000.

Procedure change proposal
Electricity System and Market Rules – Clause 2.2C
Matter under consultation
Western Power commenced the Procedure Change Process to amend Determining Loss Factors WEM Procedure. The amendments include The WEM Procedure will reflect changes to the term “Connection Point” with “Measurement Point” to align with clause 2.27 of the ESM Rules, as “Connection Point” is no longer valid under the 2024 Miscellaneous Amendment No. 3.
Additionally, the notification period in clause 4.5.3 will be extended from 10 business days to 15 business days, giving Market Participants more time to notify Western Power of eligible Measurement Points requiring individual DLF calculations.
