North West Transmission Developments
The North West Transmission Developments (NWTD), being progressed by TasNetworks, include 240km of new and upgraded transmission lines and other energy infrastructure that will increase the capacity of Tasmania's electricity network. The project is currently in the Design and Approvals phase and is subject to final investment decision (FID), currently scheduled for December 2024. It is anticipated that main construction activities will commence in early 2025, following FID approval.
The developments will enable Tasmania to become a world-leading renewable energy provider and support the decarbonisation of Australia.

Interactive map 2024
The North West Transmission Developments will strengthen the transmission network in North West Tasmania by creating a 240km, 220 kilovolt (kV) ‘loop’ that connects new and upgraded transmission substations and switching stations.
The easements in this interactive map are indicative only and will vary depending on use, location, elevation and final technical design. Only the overhead transmission lines in or near the proposed project corridor are visible on this map to indicate existing infrastructure (depicted in blue).
