Australia Energy Connect Completes 800 MW Transmission Project

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Australian transmission operator Transgrid has completed the New South Wales section of the Energy Connect project. This Australian transmission project, with a full capacity of 800 megawatts, will enhance electricity interchange between New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia, and improve the cross-regional absorption capacity of renewable energy.

The Energy Connect project is jointly advanced by Transgrid and construction partner Elecnor Australia. The New South Wales section spans approximately 700 kilometers, including over 1,500 transmission towers and more than 10,000 kilometers of high-voltage conductors. The first phase of the project, a 160-kilometer line from the South Australia border to Buronga and connecting to Victoria, was put into operation last year. The second phase, a 540-kilometer line from Buronga to Wagga Wagga, is currently entering the power transmission process.

This Australian transmission project is expected to generate total market benefits of 4.2 billion Australian dollars. Transgrid is also advancing the HumeLink transmission line in New South Wales, which is expected to support the grid connection of approximately 3 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity. With the completion of the 800 MW transmission project under Energy Connect, the power system in southeastern Australia will gain new interstate transmission corridors, providing supporting conditions for the grid integration of wind, solar, and energy storage projects.
