About

Western Power is delivering the network infrastructure needed to achieve the Cook Labor Government's vision for WA as a world-leading renewable energy powerhouse. The network's transmission lines, and the wind and solar farms they will connect, will form one of the largest infrastructure, technology and construction transformations in Western Australia's history.

The network plays an important part in safely and reliably transferring more clean energy generated from wind and solar farms to homes and businesses.

To support the flow of this clean energy, we need to strengthen the network in Perth’s northern suburbs. This will allow us to continue to deliver clean power supply for our daily-lives, and to support WA’s growing housing supply and industry, as well as the employment and economic benefits they will bring now and in the future.

Western Power is upgrading existing network infrastructure and utilising existing corridors and easements where possible to minimise community impacts.

The project is part of the State Government’s transition to a cleaner energy future.

By strengthening the existing network, more of the energy generated from existing wind and solar farms can be used.

This work also paves the way for several renewable generation projects currently in the pipeline to progress, further increasing the flow of clean energy from the Mid West region and onto the electricity network.

The State Government has provided funding for Western Power to scope, plan and construct new transmission infrastructure to strengthen the northern network, leveraging existing network infrastructure, corridors and easements where possible to minimise community impacts.

Work is underway on portions of Clean Energy Link – North. Visit each specific project page to find out more. The project is expected to be completed by end 2027.

  • Northern Terminal to Three Springs Terminal

    This proposed package of work will significantly improve the flow of renewable energy to and from the area. It includes conversion of 290 kms of existing 132 kV transmission line to 330 kV, from Northern Terminal in Malaga to substations at Pinjar, Regans, Cataby, Eneabba and then Three Springs, and a new double circuit transmission line between Eneabba and Eneabba Terminal.
