For the first time ever, NSW, SA, and VIC are now connected by the nation’s largest transmission project, EnergyConnect. This milestone allows renewable energy to flow freely between three states, delivering cleaner, cheaper, and more reliable power for all Australians. Here’s what this milestone means for our consumers: ✅ A stronger, more secure grid: EnergyConnect improves supply reliability and system stability across the National Electricity Market. ✅ A greener future: A significant step in Australia’s clean energy transition. 🤝 We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the landowners and local communities along the western alignment who partnered with us to make this nation-critical project a reality. 💡 What’s next? With over 1,000 individuals currently working on the next phase—the eastern section connecting Buronga to Wagga Wagga—we are making significant progress towards a more sustainable energy future for Australia. 🔗 For more information, visit: https://brnw.ch/21wQwRh #renewables #RenewableEnergy #futuregrid #energytransition Brett Redman Gordon Taylor Robert LI Michael Johnson

⚡ As Australia’s clean energy transition accelerates, we’re investing in the next generation of engineers to tackle regional skill shortages. 👨🎓👩🎓 In partnership with Charles Sturt University, we’re offering scholarships to commencing or first-year Engineering students, including those majoring in Electrical Engineering. Through this fund, we’ll support 100 students over four cohorts, providing $20,000 each over four years to provide students with much-needed financial support for their studies. 🏃 Applications for the 2025 scholarships are open until 7 March.

🤝We're proud to have played a crucial role in connecting one of the largest standby network batteries to the electricity network. Acting as a ‘shock absorber’, the cutting-edge System Integrity Protection Scheme (SIPS) helps prevent power disruptions caused by events like bushfires or lightning strikes while maximising the capacity of existing power networks. 🔋 More than just a battery, the Waratah Super Battery (WSB) includes: ✅ Paired generation services from a network of NSW generators. ✅A smart communications system to detect faults and balance power distribution. ✅Upgraded transmission infrastructure to enhance network capacity.   This project delivers a stronger, more resilient energy network for homes and businesses across Sydney, the Hunter, and Illawarra.

📅⚡ Throwback Thursday: Safety Through the Decades. Can you spot the difference in PPE? 👷👀 Safety standards in the energy industry have come a long way in the past few decades, driven by technological advancements, regulatory changes, and lessons learned. Both then and now, a commitment to ensuring the safety of our people, local communities and the network have always been at the core of what we do at Transgrid. 💡🏡 #safety #thenandnow #throwbackthursday #safetyfirst

🌟 Important update for NSW: Hunter Transmission Project 🌟   Working closely with local communities and EnergyCo, we're excited to announce another big step towards a cleaner, more affordable renewable energy future for homes and businesses.   We're proud to be nominated by EnergyCo as the preferred network operator for the Hunter Transmission Project.   Transgrid CEO Brett Redman shared, “The Hunter Transmission Project is one of the state’s most critical energy projects. It will accelerate the clean energy transition and provide access to cleaner and cheaper energy for households and businesses.”   The 100 km, 500 kV transmission line will unlock the electricity supply from the Central-West Orana and New England renewable energy zones, ensuring energy security as we transition from coal-fired power stations to renewable energy.   Collaboration is at the heart of this project. We are committed to working closely with EnergyCo and the local community to make this vision a reality. Thank you to everyone contributing to this effort as we continue to build meaningful connections that power a sustainable energy future for generations to come. 👉 Find out more about the Hunter Transmission Project: https://lnkd.in/gD7D-PfZ Penny Sharpe Hannah McCaughey

🏗️Progress on EnergyConnect’s eastern section⚡ Construction is making progress on EnergyConnect’s eastern section between Wagga Wagga and Dinawan substation, near Bundure, NSW. This vital transmission project will provide access to cleaner, cheaper and more reliable energy supply between states in the national grid. The project team has been assembling and erecting towers, with specialist crews beginning stringing operations along the 160km line. This process involves carefully pulling a draw wire on to the towers and guiding the conductor cable into position. 🤝We’re committed to keeping local communities informed and working with you every step of the way.
