The Opportunity
Transgrid is at the forefront of Australia’s transition to a clean energy future. We are the backbone of the National Electricity Market, and we are pursuing a nation-changing portfolio of infrastructure projects that will accelerate the decarbonisation of our economy.
Electricity transmission will be central to the energy transformation needed to achieve economy-wide decarbonisation. Transgrid is helping create a clean energy future by supporting and ensuring a smooth transition to renewables. Timely investment in new infrastructure will be essential for the power system’s successful transformation to the energy system of the future.
Transgrid is reinforcing the transmission network in southern NSW with HumeLink - a new 500 kV transmission line project that will improve the flow of electricity between new generation sources and major demand centres in NSW. It is one of the state’s largest energy infrastructure projects, with about 360 km of proposed new transmission lines, and new or upgraded infrastructure at three locations.
HumeLink will provide a crucial hub for the flow of electricity in the National Electricity Market (NEM). The project will enable high volume energy transfer around the NEM improving access to affordable electricity.
