TransGrid and EnergyAustralia have published the Final Report for supply to the Sydney CBD and Inner Metropolitan Area.
The Sydney CBD and Inner Metropolitan Area is currently supplied via a network of 330kV and 132kV lines and cables from 330/132kV substations at:
- Sydney North (Dural)
- Sydney South (Picnic Point)
- Beaconsfield West
- Haymarket
Beaconsfield West and Haymarket substations are supplied via 330 kV cables from Sydney South.
TransGrid and EnergyAustralia are proposing the construction of a new large transmission network asset to increase the capacity of the transmission network supplying the area. The proposal has major components as follows:
- Construction of sections of new double circuit 330kV line and conversion of parts of an existing double circuit line to operate at 330kV between Sydney West 330/132kV substation and the Holroyd area
- Construction of a new 330/132kV substation in the Holroyd area
- Installation of two 330kV cables between the new Holroyd substation and the Potts Hill area
- Construction of a new 330/132kV substation in the Potts Hill area (Rookwood Road, Potts Hill)
The works are estimated to cost approximately $557 million and are proposed to be completed for summer 2013/14.
