Tender Description
Overview
Powerlink is delivering the Gladstone Project which will strengthen and increase capacity of the electricity transmission network in the region. This critical program of transmission upgrades will ensure the safety and reliability of the power network as the region prepares for the eventual retirement of the Gladstone Power Station, and heavy industry moves toward using renewable energy sources.
The Gladstone Project will see several key projects planned, assessed and delivered in incremental stages over the next decade. This will include new transmission lines and new transmission infrastructure such as substations and associated equipment.Stage 1This first stage involves construction of the Calvale to Calliope River Transmission Line Reinforcement Project. Early works (planning and assessment) funding has been approved and is underway, and construction is expected to start by mid-2026. Completion is scheduled for late 2028.
Stage 1 will also include works at the existing Calvale Substation, and an expansion of the existing Calliope River Substation.
For further information on the planning and engagement activities completed to date, as well as the status of approvals, please refer to Powerlink's website: Calvale to Calliope River Transmission Line Reinforcement Project | Powerlink.
Future stages
Investment and funding decisions for future stages of the Gladstone Project will be assessed and delivered as part of the Queensland Government's Priority Transmission Investment (PTI) process. For further information on this investment process, please refer to Powerlink's website: Priority Transmission Investments | Powerlink.
The Gladstone Project is expected to be implemented in three stages, subject to several factors, including: the PTI assessment, Ministerial direction, responsiveness to the load growth in the region, and the need to be flexible and maximise delivery efficiency.
