flag Australia’s EnergyConnect project nears completion but faces delays until 2026 due to cost overruns and supply issues.

flag Over 1,500 steel towers and more than 10,385 km of high-voltage cabling have been completed as part of Australia's EnergyConnect transmission project, which connects NSW, Victoria, and South Australia. flag This is a significant milestone. flag The Bundure substation is still being built, but the 159 km western portion is operational. flag Due to labor shortages, supply chain problems, inflation, and worldwide disruptions, the project, which was originally projected to cost $2.1 billion but is now estimated to cost $3.6 billion, is postponed until late 2026. flag In addition to supporting Australia's renewable energy targets—43% renewable by 2030 and net zero by 2050—it seeks to fortify the country's grid. flag TransGrid's outsourcing policies without consulting union employees have been the subject of a lawsuit.
