About Northern Region Terminal and Network Upgrades

Western Power is delivering the network infrastructure needed to achieve the State Government’s vision for WA as a world-leading renewable energy powerhouse. To support this we are upgrading multiple terminal sites to boost the northern network's transmission capacity. Site preparation work started in 2025, with construction continuing until 2027.

Northern Region Terminal sites

Northern Terminal

Northern Terminal

Located in Malaga, Western Power is upgrading Northern Terminal’s 132kV and 330kV stations to boost the northern network’s transmission capacity. Site preparation work is commencing from mid-2025, with construction continuing until 2027.

The upgrade will facilitate future line conversions and the connection of Northern Terminal to Neerabup Terminal transmission line, which will significantly increase the flow of clean energy to and from the area. The works involve expansion within the terminal site and upgrading electrical equipment to support the terminal.

All construction work will be confined to the existing terminal site located at the intersection of Beach Road and Malaga Drive in Malaga, with site access primarily via Beach and Weir Roads.

Regans Terminal

Regans Terminal

Western Power is expanding its terminal at Regans Ford with a new 330 kV terminal station to increase the northern network’s transmission capacity. Site preparation work is commencing from mid-2025, with construction continuing until 2027.

The terminal station will connect a nearby transmission line, enhancing the power supply to the existing 132kV substation and significantly boosting the flow of renewable energy to and from the area.

The new Regans Terminal will be built on land next to the existing Regans Substation, just off Brand Highway. It will involve upgrading the electrical equipment to support the terminal, and improving access to the site.

Neerabup Terminal

Neerabup Terminal

Western Power is upgrading the existing 132kV substation and 330kV terminal Neerabup Terminal to increase the northern network’s transmission capacity. Site preparation work is commencing from mid-2025, with construction continuing until 2027.

The upgrade will facilitate future line conversions and the connection of Northern Terminal to Neerabup Terminal transmission line, which will significantly increase the flow of clean energy to and from the area. The works involve expansion within the terminal site and upgrading electrical equipment to support the terminal.

All construction work will be confined to the existing terminal site, with site access via Ziatas Road in the Shire of Gingin.

Eneabba Terminal

Eneabba Terminal

Western Power is building a 132kV terminal station in Eneabba to increase the northern network’s transmission capacity. Site preparation work is commencing from mid-2025, with construction continuing until 2027.

The terminal will connect to existing transmission lines in the region and facilitate future line conversions to significantly increasing the flow of renewable energy to and from the area.

The works involve upgrading the electrical equipment and will be completed within the existing Eneabba terminal, located along Rose Thompson Road in Eneabba, within the Shire of Carnamah.

Three Springs Terminal

Western Power is expanding the existing 330kV terminal in Three Springs and building a new 132kV terminal to increase the northern network’s transmission capacity. Site preparation work is expected to commence from late-2025, with construction continuing until 2027.

The terminal will connect to existing transmission lines in the region and facilitate future line conversions to significantly increasing the flow of renewable energy to and from the area.

All construction work will occur within the existing terminal site located along Perenjori-Three Springs Road in the Shire of Three Springs.

Northern Region Network Upgrades

Eneabba Terminal to Eneabba Substation

Western Power is building a new 12km overhead 132kV transmission line between the soon to be upgraded terminal and existing substation in Eneabba. This project will support the ongoing power supply to the Eneabba substation and enable future line conversions to increase the transmission capacity to and from the area.

Starting at Eneabba Terminal on Rose Thomson Road, the new transmission line will travel parallel to the existing 330kV transmission line before entering the Eneabba Substation on Beros Road.

This route was selected as it uses existing infrastructure, easements and is predominantly occurring on already cleared land, minimising overall community and environmental impact, while balancing affordability and supporting ongoing important local and State Government projects that will benefit the local community.

We’re committed to keeping you informed to minimise any disruptions on you. Please register for updates on the right. Construction is expected to start in early 2026 and be completed in 2027.

Northern Terminal to Three Springs Terminal

This work involves the essential upgrade and reinforcement of existing infrastructure to increase the flow of renewable energy between Perth and the Mid-West region.

It includes:

  • converting 278km of existing 132kV transmission line to 330kV, from Northern Terminal in Malaga to substations at Pinjar, Regans, Cataby, Eneabba and then Three Springs. Three existing terminal sites will be expanded to the facilitate this conversion
  • converting 12km of split phase double circuit poles between Neerbup Terminal and Wanneroo Substation to a double circuit operation
  • stringing 18km of the second side of an existing 132kV double circuit transmission line between Neerabup Terminal and Pinjar substation
  • installation of multiple overhead line interconnectors within terminals.

Construction is expected to commence in 2025 and be completed by 2027.
