Today’s transmission line of the week is EnergyConnect! Ever daydreamed about connecting the energy grids in NSW, Victoria and South Australia? I know I sure have… Well dream no more! This project is set to do just that with a new 900km of transmission line which will facilitate power sharing between the three states, improving the reliability and security of the energy supply!

EnergyConnect is being delivered as a partnership between Transgrid and ElectraNet, with Transgrid building the NSW component and ElectraNet building the SA component. If this is the type of thing to spark your interest, you can learn more from the link below!
