How do you build a major transmission line while protecting some of NSW’s most ecologically and culturally sensitive landscapes? For project #EnergyConnect, that challenge became an opportunity to redefine how large-scale infrastructure is planned and built. Together with our delivery partner, we reimagined traditional construction methods to minimise environmental impact and preserve cultural heritage. By embedding ecological expertise into every stage of planning and delivery, our teams: ✅ Cut native vegetation clearing by 45% – preserving over 1,000 hectares of habitat. ✅ Installed 6,400 nest boxes for hollow-dependent species. ✅ Partnered with First Nations monitors and local landowners to safeguard cultural heritage. ✅ Avoided 267,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions – equivalent to the carbon stored in 133 million fire extinguishers. We’re proud to be a Finalist in the 2025 NSW Sustainability Awards, but the true success lies in creating a legacy of responsible energy infrastructure that respects Country, supports biodiversity, and benefits communities for generations.

A paddock in a small locality in the Riverina has been transformed into a world-class substation critical to delivering new renewable power to the national grid. Once the Dinawan substation is commissioned, it will integrate new solar and wind generation from the NSW Government's South West Renewable Energy Zone, unlocking cleaner, more affordable electricity for households and businesses as part of project #EnergyConnect. This milestone has been made possible thanks to the efforts of more than 750 people who’ve worked on site. Together, they’ve helped: ✔ Move 275,000 cubic metres of fill (that’s 27,500 truck loads) to create the bench ✔ Install two 120 MVAr synchronous condensers — each weighing 300 tonnes — inside a purpose-built machine hall ✔ Fit four shunt reactors and two capacitor banks Find out more: https://brnw.ch/21wXpcU Elecnor Australia

Our team is once again taking to the skies with Raedyne Systems, using 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗔𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗜𝗺𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 (𝗦𝗔𝗜𝗣) to inspect high-voltage transmission lines conductors across NSW and the ACT to keep the power flowing safely and reliably for our communities. 🚁 With helicopters fitted with advanced conductor tracking cameras, we capture high-resolution images of our network. AI and data analytics then help us spot early signs of wear or damage, so we can take action before issues arise. Over the past four years, we’ve inspected 1,700 kilometres of conductors, with another 600 kilometres to be added this year.
