Construction has begun on the Clean Energy Link – North project in Perth's northern suburbs, the largest investment in Western Australia's electricity transmission infrastructure in over a decade. The project includes major upgrades to the northern section of the South West Interconnected System (SWIS) to facilitate the addition of renewable energy resources, doubling capacity in some sections and enabling the flow of wind and solar energy. This project is part of the state government's plan to exit State-owned coal by 2030 and make Western Australia a renewable energy powerhouse. The North project is set to be completed by the end of 2027, creating over 400 jobs and contributing to the state's transition towards clean energy solutions.
