Draft energy policy framework
The draft energy policy framework was on exhibition from 14 November 2023 to 29 January 2024.
On 28 October 2024, the NSW Government released the final framework, renamed to the Renewable Energy Planning Framework.
The framework provides communities, councils and the energy industry with clarity and transparency for how renewable energy projects and transmission infrastructure are assessed and managed.
