Environmental management
We have a Statewide Clearing Permit (CPS 1918) that is used to manage the network. This includes works to meet the needs of the community by building, maintaining and operating an electricity network across the South West Interconnected Network. The following projects are open for public submissions due to their potential environmental impact.
Projects open for submission
Clean Energy Link North – Yandin Terminal Bypass
1
Western Power is building a new bypass arrangement at the Yandin Terminal Substation to support the upgrade of the 132 kV Cataby to Regans 81 transmission line, enabling the connection of more wind and solar generation. The project is strengthening the backbone of the network for cleaner reliable and affordable energy system for all. To enable the construction of the new bypass arrangement, up to 0.68 ha of vegetation clearing is required to provide access, and a safe working area, for work crews and equipment to construct new poles and string conductors. Wherever and whenever possible we proactively work to minimise clearing and any potential impacts to natural habitat across the SWIS.
Closing date for submissions: 16/09/25
