The proposed Marinus Link interconnector from Burnie to Victoria has taken a big step forward with the submission of critical Commonwealth and Victorian environmental referrals.
The project has made submissions for project assessment under:
● Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act (EPBC Act); and
● Victorian Environmental Effects Act (EE Act).
The current target date for commissioning and commercial operation of the first 750 MW stage is 2027-28, with the commissioning and commercial operation of the second 750 MW stage currently scheduled for 2029-30.
You can learn more about the environment and planning assessment process and how to have your say at a webinar this afternoon from 2 to 3pm.
