RAPAD Power Grid Overview

RAPAD Power Grid was initiated through a unique collaboration between the Central Western Queensland Remote Area Planning and Development Board (RAPAD), Barcaldine Regional Council and VisIR Pty Ltd. RAPAD represents seven local government areas that span almost 25% of Queensland including the Barcaldine region which is home to the emerging Barcaldine Renewable Energy Zone (BREZ). Queensland firm VisIR founded and developed the $5 billion CopperString 2032 transmission network that will extend approximately 1,000 km across Northern Queensland which is being delivered by the Queensland Government.
