Hengtong Cable Australia will supply all 66km of 33kV cable to the 157.5MW Mortlake South Wind Farm Project.

The project will create over 90 new jobs during construction, 34 ongoing jobs and will generate enough clean energy to power 115,000 homes each year.

ACCIONA will also build an underground transmission line for the wind farm, demonstrating its commitment to working closely with communities to deliver tailored local solutions.

The underground transmission route will be finalised based on environmental, cultural heritage and engineering considerations aimed at minimising the impact of the wind farm’s construction and ongoing presence – a planning permit will be required for the new power line.
