Northern Terminal to Three Springs Terminal
This proposed package of work will significantly improve the flow of renewable energy to and from the area. It includes conversion of 290 kms of existing 132 kV transmission line to 330 kV, from Northern Terminal in Malaga to substations at Pinjar, Regans, Cataby, Eneabba and then Three Springs, and a new double circuit transmission line between Eneabba and Eneabba Terminal.
Additionally, new a 330 kV terminal will be constructed next to the existing Regans Substation, with connections to the two 330 kV transmission lines passing near the site to facilitate the resupply of Regans 132 kV Substation.
