Client: Energy Corporation of NSW (EnergyCo)

Location: Hunter New England region

Services provided: Construction Procurement Assurance

Public Works are supporting EnergyCo by reviewing the HTP project’s procurement processes to confirm they are fit for purpose and compliant with the NSW Procurement Policy Framework. This compliance project involves building a new above-ground 500 kilovolt (kV) transmission line of around 100 kilometres between Bayswater in the Upper Hunter and Olney in the Lower Hunter to connect the State’s existing transmission lines. Once completed, it will allow the electricity supply from the Central-West Orana and New England renewable energy zones (REZs) to be imported to the new electricity grid via Bayswater. This will supply consumers in the Hunter, Sydney and Illawarra areas where 80% of NSW’s electricity is consumed.
