For planned capacity it is assumed that 'Option 1' of the identified AEMO transmission expansion options will be realised. The net additional network capacity is assumed to be the identified transmission limits if this project gets initiated (1212 MW TAS to VIC, 962 MW VIC to TAS) - the existing capacities.
