Infrastructure Australia's chairman Rod Eddington has told an Australian Institute of Company Directors lunch in Melbourne that the key advisory body to the federal government plans to focus on linking renewable energy projects to the national grid. Sir Rod said 'we're going to have to invest in substantial new generation capacity, solar, wind and geothermal, but we're also going to have to invest in the grid so we can bring that power to the places where it is needed.' Sir Rod noted recent PPPs in Victoria, including its desalination plant, and the Peninsula Link highway.
