A number of upgrades are planned for our communications network, one of the largest in Australia.
TransGrid is planning to construct a 215km 330kV link between TransGrid's existing substation near Bonshaw and Lismore.
In order to meet the growing reliability and energy needs
of the area, TransGrid and Country Energy have been
progressively upgrading the region’s electricity supply
system including a recent project to re-build TransGrid’s
substation at Glen Innes.
To increase the capacity of the electricity supply to Port Macquarie, TransGrid has commenced construction of a 132,000 volt line between Kempsey and Port Macquarie. The estimated cost of this project is $28 million.
TransGrid is now finalising its proposal to construct a 132kV transmission line connecting the existing electricity substations at Manildra and Parkes.
TransGrid is upgrading its existing Orange substation and building a new switching station in the area
Part of TransGrid's mandate is to ensure that all our substations are kept at and beyond world reliability standards.
To meet increasing electricity demand, TransGrid is proposing to upgrade the electricity supply to the Lower Mid-North Coast region, between Tomago and Stroud Road.
To meet increasing demand in the Sydney, Newcastle and Wollongong areas, TransGrid has moved forward with the Western 500kV Project. It represents the largest project ever undertaken by TransGrid on every scale.
The Western Sydney Supply Project is a $569 million investment to secure Sydney’s power supply
for the future.
