❓ The WA Government provides details on the Clean Energy Link - North project, including scope, budget, upgrades, and completion dates. The project aims to increase capacity to the Southwest Interconnected System by converting a 132kV line to 330kV.

I refer to the Government's announcement of funding for the Clean Energy Link - North project in November 2025 and I ask:(a) what is the full scope of each section of the Clean Energy Link - North project;(b) what is the budget for each part of the Clean Energy Link - North project;(c) does the project upgrade the Perth to Three Springs section from one 330 KV line and one 132 KV line to two 330 KV lines;(d) if no to (c), what is the upgrade for that section;(e) if yes to (c), was consideration given to dualling that section of the Clean Energy Link - North project and why was dualling not made part of the project;(f) what is the completion date and the projected cost of the Perth to Three Springs section of the Clean Energy Link - North project; and(g) what is the completion date and the projected cost of the entire Clean Energy Link - North project?

(a – c, f - g) The project converts the existing Perth to Three Springs 132kV line to a 330kV line, allowing up to 1.4Gw of additional capacity to be added to the Southwest Interconnected System. Sections receiving an upgrade include Padbury Substation to Wangara Substation, Wangara Substation to Neerabup Terminal, Neerabup Terminal to Northern Terminal, and Northern Terminal to Henley Brook Substation, as well as upgrades to Northern, Regans, Neerabup, Eneabba and Three Springs Terminals. The project is targeting completion by end 2027, with the total budget estimated at $1.2 billion. (d)   N/A (e)   Converting the 132kV line to 330kV results in two 330kVs through the region, which is sufficient to meet expected generation.
