TasNetworks published its Initial Feasibility Report for Project Marinus, which considers the feasibility of Marinus Link in relation to the technical, environmental, planning and economic elements of the project.
Project Marinus is investigating the case for further Bass Strait interconnection as part of Australia’s future electricity grid.
The project is being undertaken by TasNetworks and is considering a new interconnector, known as Marinus Link, to operate in addition to the existing privately-owned Basslink interconnector. The project has received $20 Million in funding support from the Tasmanian Government through TasNetworks and the Commonwealth Government through the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA).
