ACCIONA awards the Western Renewable Link project in Australia
ACCIONA, together with our JV partner Genus, has been awarded a contract to construct the Western Renewables Link, an essential transmission project that will assist in facilitating Victoria’s renewable energy future.
Spanning approximately 190 kilometres, the Western Renewables Link will deliver a new 500 kV double-circuit transmission line from Bulgana in western Victoria to the Sydenham terminal station in Melbourne’s North-West.
The project will unlock large-scale renewable energy from the region, enabling more than 3,000 MW of new generation and powering up to one million Victorian homes.
The contract is subject to satisfaction of conditions precedent and commencement of construction activities is still subject to the project receiving all necessary state and federal approvals.
