A leading international academic and researcher is undertaking a placement within Australia’s largest transmission operator, creating further links between industry and academia, and bringing new insights and expertise to help address the challenges of transforming the power system as coal generation retires.

Australia’s largest transmission project has perpetually preserved an area of land eight times the size of the City of Sydney LGA, protecting valuable biodiversity and threatened species of flora and fauna across regional NSW.

A diverse range of community organisations across regional NSW will be able to invest in essential equipment, upgraded facilities, training programs and vital local services through funding provided by Transgrid’s Community Partnerships Program.

Delivering the economic infrastructure that will support NSW’s future growth and provide energy security for Australia’s east coast is at the core of Transgrid’s Annual Planning Report released today.

Data centres have the opportunity to unlock up to 2GW of new transmission capacity in Sydney by funding new network upgrades identified by Transgrid, thereby safeguarding consumers and securing economic investment in NSW.

A multi-billion-dollar legacy of jobs, investment and economic growth is being created for regional communities as Australia’s largest transmission project delivers benefits beyond the electricity network and consumer bills.
