The Clean Energy Link - East Project is a proposed 330-kilovolt (kV) and 132-kV transmission line and terminal builds within the existing network, which will connect Western Power’s existing Shotts and Muja Terminals in Collie to Darkan. Work will also include existing line conversions and reinforcement work. The project and associated contracts have been divided across multiple stages.
Stage One covers works between the Shotts and Muja Terminals to a new terminal at Cordering. Work packages in Stage One include:
- Shotts Terminal Upgrade
- Muja Terminal Upgrade
- New Cordering Terminal, and
- Transmission connections
Stage Two and Three are yet to be finalised, but are expected to comprise:
- a new terminal near Darkan
- a new terminal in the Shire of Williams
- a new double-circuit 330 kV transmission line connecting the two terminals.
