As electric vehicle (EV) adoption accelerates across Australia, distribution networks are entering a new phase of complexity, where visibility at the low voltage level is becoming increasingly critical.
In this article, Dr Kate Thompson explores the growing challenges DNSPs face in planning for EV uptake alongside rising rooftop solar, highlighting the importance of granular data, advanced analytics, and digitalisation in enabling confident, evidence-based decision-making.
With 2030 fast approaching, investing in low voltage monitoring and analytics will be key to supporting network planning, managing emerging constraints, and facilitating a cost-effective transition to electrification.
