VNI West Transmission Project

planned

The VNI West (Victoria–New South Wales Interconnector West) is a major transmission project that will connect the states of Victoria and New South Wales in Australia. It involves a 240 km, 500 kV double-circuit transmission line to increase bidirectional transfer capacity by up to 3.5 GW, unlocking new renewable generation across both states. The project aims to enhance grid reliability, support Victoria's clean energy transition, and deliver long-term economic and social benefits to local communities. Iberdrola Australia will collaborate with VicGrid on engineering design, financial and technical planning, and environmental and regulatory approvals. The project is targeted for completion in 2030, reinforcing Australia's decarbonisation goals and energy security ambitions.
