CRITICAL NSW-QLD INTERCONNECTOR FAST-TRACKED

Electricity consumers are set to benefit from more affordable and reliable electricity, following the NSW and Commonwealth Governments’ support to speed up the upgrade to the NSW-QLD interconnector (QNI).

Energy Minister Matt Kean said the Australian Energy Regulator’s final approval of the QNI upgrade is great news for the households and businesses of NSW, providing an additional 190 megawatts of low-cost electricity for NSW and supporting over 150 jobs.
