Mortlake Turn-In project

Location: Mortlake VIC
Traditional Country: Eastern Maar
Timeframe: Completion by 2025


Overview

We’ve been contracted by the Australian Energy Market Operator Limited (AEMO) to deliver the Mortlake Turn-In Project as part of the Victorian government’s Renewable Energy Zone (REZ) Development Plan.

The project aims to maximise renewable energy generation in Victoria by addressing network constraints that limit how much electricity generators in the South-West can feed into the grid.

Currently, two 500 kilovolt (kV) transmission lines run past the Mortlake Terminal Station, but only one connects to the station. The Mortlake Turn-In Project will connect the second 500 kV line to the station by upgrading existing equipment. This will reduce generation constraints and improve network stability.
