Transend Networks

Transend Networks Pty Ltd was a Tasmanian government-owned business which operated between 1998 and 2014 as the electricity transmission network provider for Tasmania, Australia.

It was formed by the disaggregation of the Hydro-Electric Commission, and ceased operation when it was merged on 1 July 2014 with the distribution division of Aurora Energy to form the combined network business TasNetworks.

[1] Transend transmitted electricity from power stations in Tasmania and on mainland Australia (via Basslink) to its customers around the state.

Transend was a participant in Australia's National Electricity Market (NEM).

The NEM operates on an interconnected power system that extends from Queensland to South Australia.
