TransGrid's $25 million Glen Innes to Inverell 132kV Transmission Line Project is a result of joint planning between TransGrid and Country Energy to strengthen the reliability of electricity supply in the region.
The project involves:
- Building 11km of new transmission line between the existing TransGrid and Country Energy Substations near Glen Innes
- Replacing 55km of existing transmission line between Glen Innes and Inverell with a higher capacity line
Construction works commenced in February 2010 near Glen Innes and will gradually progress west to Inverell.
The project is part of a larger plan to strengthen the north west of TransGrid’s transmission network, following the recent construction of TransGrid’s new 132/66kV substation at Glen Innes in 2007.
