Investing in a clean energy future
Western Victoria is emerging as an important renewable energy generation region. The current energy transmission network needs upgrading to share this renewable energy with all Victorians.
The Western Victoria Transmission Network Project will add a new link to the network making this possible. The project will involve major economic investment in western Victoria, creating new jobs during and after construction, as well as support Victoria's move towards a cleaner energy future.
