Draft Renewable Energy Zones

dataset: Draft_REZ_2025
This dataset contains the locations of Victoria’s draft renewable energy zones. VicGrid has run an 18-month process of consultation and technical work to identify the zones as part of developing the 2025 Victorian Transmission Plan (VTP). The zones are strategic areas suitable to host new large-scale renewable generation projects over the next 15 years. The Minister for Energy and Resources has now issued draft renewable energy zone orders for 5 onshore zones - the Western, Central Highlands, Gippsland, North West and South West zones - and the Gippsland Shoreline zone. The declaration process is another chance for people to provide feedback to help shape development of the zones.
