The Clean Energy Link – Kwinana proposed project aims to strengthen the transmission network in the Kwinana Industrial Area to support growing renewable energy demand and economic diversification.

The project is a key enabler of the ongoing development of the Western Trade Coast, making it possible for critical minerals processing operations, defence, shipbuilding and emerging industries to set up and expand in the area.

Clean Energy Link – Kwinana will be delivered in stages to meet the area’s future energy needs. It will include expanding existing substations and building two new terminals (132kV and 330kV) and transmission lines to connect them to existing infrastructure.

Scoping and planning is underway to determine the new and upgraded infrastructure needed to deliver up to 900MW of new capacity to the area.

With major infrastructure already in place and new projects underway, we’re working closely with landowners, industry, government agencies and other stakeholders to identify solutions that accommodate diverse requirements while balancing overall network needs.

Stage 1

• Building a new 132kV terminal (in addition to the existing 132kV terminal)
• New 132kV connections from new terminal to existing substations in Medina and Rockingham
• Expanding of the Medina and Rockingham substations

Subject to further funding and approvals, Stage 1 has a target for completion in 2029

Stage 2 (Target completion 2032)

• Building a new 330kV terminal
• New 330kV connections to existing Kwinana-Kemerton/Oakley line and Kwinana-Northern Terminal lines
• Additional works to improve existing network

Subject to funding and approvals, Stage 2 has a target for completion in 2032
