The Australian Energy Market Commission (AEMC) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Stewart Bell from Powerlink Queensland as the new Transmission Network Service Provider (TNSP) representative on the Reliability Panel.
Dr Bell’s appointment follows a rigorous nomination and voting process outlined in the National Electricity Rules, which involved seeking feedback from all eleven registered TNSPs.
With over three decades of experience in the electricity industry, Dr Bell has been responsible for planning the Queensland transmission network since 2012.
During his tenure, Powerlink has enabled over 7 GW of renewable generation and storage projects. Currently, Dr Bell serves as the Executive General Manager of Network and Business Development at Powerlink Queensland.
The AEMC would like to express its sincere gratitude to the outgoing Panel member, Stephen Clark from TasNetworks, for his invaluable contributions to the Reliability Panel over recent years.
