2024–25. This suggests the need for land purchase associated with any of the proposed substations for the Yarrabilba and Flagstone projects can be delayed to the next period. We have therefore not provided an allowance for the purchase of land in Yarrabilba and Flagstone for the 2015–20 period. Easements Energex proposes $17.4 million for corridor/easement acquisitions for future overhead feeders. There are six corridor or easement acquisitions included in the proposed expenditure.

Note: Energex has not claimed confidentiality over the individual costs of its proposed easements purchases. Hence we have presented the individual costs in our decision. We have considered each of these easement purchases noting the updated demand forecasts in Powerlink’s 2015 APR. We accept ongoing projects and projects in areas, where the demand forecast has not fallen between 2014 and 2015. Our findings are noted below:
