Transgrid has released its inaugural Sustainability Report confirming its strong environmental credentials and commitment to positive social outcomes as the transmission leader builds the energy superhighway and accelerates Australia’s transition to renewables.

Transgrid welcomes today’s announcement of significant investment by the Commonwealth and NSW governments in critical transmission infrastructure to accelerate Australia’s clean energy future.

The 50MW/75MWh Wallgrove Grid Battery (WGB) in Western Sydney has become the first ‘big battery’ in NSW and the third Tesla grid-scale system in the world to demonstrate synthetic inertia.

Mental health resources, cooking classes for isolated farmers, Indigenous art and education ecological workshops and swimming equipment are among the local initiatives sharing a $200,000 funding boost for community organisations in southern NSW.

New sensors will be installed on the Transgrid network in a trial with Infravision to unlock extra capacity to support more renewable energy and reduce costs by maximising the capacity of existing transmission lines.

Transgrid has installed the first next-generation fast-charger as part of a wider program to transition the network’s fleet to electric vehicles.
