The Australian government has given a 365 kilometre transmission project in New South Wales the green tick, which has the potential to unlock an extra 3 GW of renewable energy into the grid, including from the SnowyHydro expansion project.
New South Wales network operator Transgrid has received approval from the state government for its 365 kilometre HumeLink transmission project, which could be operational by 2027, and federal approval is received.
In a bid to boost the state’s economy and create jobs amid the Covid-19 crisis, the New South Wales government will accelerate the assessment of 24 projects, including the $4.6 billion Snowy 2.0 pumped hydro storage project.
