Western Australia increases investment in electric
Post# of 13760

They are part of an AU$584 million State Budget commitment for Western Power, a state-owned electricity network operator, to undertake network upgrades and expansion as part of the Clean Energy Link—North programme.
The Clean Energy Link initiative aims to address the growing demand for clean energy by connecting resource-rich areas to the state’s largest electricity network.
Western Australia is home to some of the world’s most abundant solar and wind resources, yet outdated transmission infrastructure has constrained the ability to harness and distribute this energy.
The project aims to overcome these limitations by building new transmission lines and upgrading existing ones, ensuring that renewable energy can flow from generation sites to urban centres and industrial hubs. Indeed, the government estimates that this initiative will make around 400MW of wind generation and around 1GW of other renewable energy available in the SWIS .
