Jacqui Bridge, Powerlink's Executive General Manager Energy Futures, joined a panel of experts at the 2024 Australian Clean Energy Summit to discuss the critical path of grid connection in the energy supply chain. It was a great conference and opportunity to network with the energy community around Australia. #energy #transmission #grid #network

Critical long lead equipment for the CopperString 2032 project has been secured after a contract signing with Siemens Energy for the supply of 17 shunt reactors of varying voltages. Contracts are also now signed with ZTT Group and Hyosung Heavy Industries Worldwide for the supply of 15,000km of conductor and four power transformers. This is a significant achievement in a supply chain context where demand for equipment is significantly higher than available supply. Securing this important major equipment gives further confidence in the delivery of CopperString 2032 for north and north west Queensland. #copperstring #copperstring2032 #project

From July to September essential #helicopter inspections of our transmission network will be underway across Southern, Central and Northern Queensland to help maintain a safe and reliable power supply. Local residents may see the helicopter moving relatively quickly and at a low level along our transmission lines, and in some instances, it may need to hover to enable closer inspection of the lines. The pilot will endeavour to maintain the maximum distance possible from houses and minimise any disruptions. We encourage anyone with questions about the inspections and the planned timing to contact us for more information. If you have a Powerlink easement on or near your property and would like to register your details to receive more information about future inspections in your area, or to ensure your contact details are up to date, please contact us on FREECALL 1800 635 369 (during business hours), or find out more at #safeforlife #safety #communitynotice #transmission

The copper shovel sod turn marks the beginning of construction on the CopperString project’s first and largest workforce accommodation which will house those charged with building the transmission line. Powerlink was officially welcomed to country by Traditional Owners, the Yirendali People. This was the first time in more than 50 years some of the remaining Elders have returned to their Country, made possible by CopperString. Since acquiring the project in March 2023, Powerlink has powered on with progress purchasing significant equipment critical for the delivery of the project. A 100-strong project team has also been established, alongside Joint Venture partners UGL and CPB Contractors, with all detailed design on the transmission corridor well underway. Powerlink is proud to be building the future of North and North West Queensland, starting in Hughenden. Learn more on our website:
