Victoria expands renewable energy zones, but costs to nearly
The plan outlines the parts of the state designated as renewable energy zones and the new transmission infrastructure needed in the next 15 years to connect them to the grid.

AUSTRALIA''S largest energy project connecting three states'' power grids and contributing to the nation''s net zero ambitions has reached a major milestone. Construction of
Australia''s largest energy transmission project has reached a new milestone with the last of more than 1,500 steel towers constructed along the 700-kilometre New South Wales
Syncline Energy is proposing building a 250km direct current transmission line from Charlton, in the state''s central west, to Melbourne. It would run beneath the median strip
The project is 90% complete and scheduled for finishing in 2026. All 1,500 steel towers of the 700-kilometre (km) backbone of EnergyConnect project have been constructed. According to

Victoria's power grid is in the process of being overhauled as part of the national energy plan. (ABC News: Lucas Hill) A company is proposing to build a 250-kilometre underground transmission line in Victoria. Syncline Energy says the line would delay the need to build two controversial projects. What's next?
Victoria's energy grid was designed in the 1950s to connect electricity from coal-fired power generators to the state's homes and businesses. Those plants are centralised in the Latrobe Valley, but renewable energy infrastructure will be built in various locations across the state — requiring more high-voltage powerlines to connect it to the grid.
Once in place, the new transmission towers would be about 80m away from their original location. The relocation of the transmission towers has been informed by comprehensive technical studies and consultation with AusNet Services, the owner and operator of the Victorian electricity transmission network. Can the power lines be moved underground?
“The plan attempts to minimise the area of Victoria required for renewable energy zones and the new transmission infrastructure needed, while also providing project developers and investors with sufficient opportunity to generate the energy we need to power homes, farms, schools, businesses, hospitals and other essential services.”
