About us
Powerlink Queensland (Powerlink) is a leading Australian provider of high voltage electricity transmission network services, combining innovation with insight to deliver safe, cost-effective and reliable solutions. We are a Government Owned Corporation (GOC) that owns, develops, operates and maintains the high voltage electricity transmission network in Queensland. Our network extends 1,700 kilometres (km) from Cairns to the New South Wales (NSW) border and comprises 15,449 circuit km of transmission lines and 152 substations. Our purpose is to connect Queenslanders to a world-class energy future, providing electricity to more than five million Queenslanders and 241,000 businesses. Through our unique central position in the power system, we are guiding the market to help influence the energy system of the future – one that effectively balances customer needs, while transforming to a lower carbon future comprising a diverse array of generation and storage technologies including large-scale wind and solar developments, batteries, pumped hydro and gas turbines. Powerlink’s network serves as the platform for the provision of energy services while maintaining a sharp focus on safety, affordability and reliability of supply for our customers. As well as connecting large generators to end-use customers through the distribution networks owned by Energex and Ergon Energy (part of the Energy Queensland Group), and Essential Energy (in northern NSW), we also provide electricity directly to large industrial customers such as rail companies, mines and mineral processing facilities. As a Transmission Network Service Provider (TNSP), we link to the National Electricity Market (NEM) via the Queensland/NSW Interconnector (QNI) transmission line. Most of Powerlink’s network is regulated by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER) under the National Electricity Law and the National Electricity Rules (NER).

It's Get Ready Queensland Week - don’t wait until it’s too late to get ready for storm season. At Powerlink we've kicked off our summer preparedness with more than 80 of our colleagues from Energy Queensland (Ergon Energy Network and Energex), CleanCo Queensland, Stanwell Corporation Limited, CS Energy and the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) to ensure our emergency response plans for Queensland’s power system are as coordinated and prepared as they can be for the busy summer period ahead. As summer brings a higher demand for electricity and more extreme weather events including cyclones and bushfires, it is time for all Queenslanders to consider how they can prepare for severe weather-related outages by: • Having an emergency kit • Have fully charged power banks for phones and other devices • Regularly maintain any power generator • Know and practice rooftop solar shut down procedures • Keep away from any fallen powerlines For more information about what to do in an emergency, visit https://bit.ly/2LihC7G #getreadyqueensland #emergency #stormseason #preparedness

Powerlink’s Kamerunga Substation and the transmission line between the Kamerunga and Woree substations are now nearing the end of technical service life and must be replaced to ensure a safe and reliable electricity supply into the future. Powerlink is commencing consultation on the project and released the Draft Corridor and Site Selection Report for feedback which outlines the proposed transmission line corridor and substation site. We’re seeking feedback from landholders, Traditional Owner groups, the community and other stakeholders until 5pm Wednesday 30 October 2024, and will be hosting a series of community drop-in sessions if you would like to learn more.
