MARINUS LINK: A CRITICAL PART OF AUSTRALIA’S NEW ENERGY FUTURE

Marinus Link is a proposed electricity and telecommunications interconnector between Tasmania and Victoria. It is recognised as an actionable transmission project of national significance. Currently in the Manufacturing, Construction and Commissioning phase, Marinus Link will support our nation’s emission reduction targets and generate thousands of jobs at peak construction.

Our purpose is clear: to interconnect Australia’s renewable energy for future generations.

Company Overview

Marinus Link is the bridge to a smarter, greener and more connected future. This state-of-the-art infrastructure project will strengthen Australia’s national electricity grid, unlock thousands of jobs and promote renewable energy investment. The two-way energy highway will enable Tasmania and Victoria to share much more electricity, pairing Victoria’s wind and solar with Tasmania’s flexible hydropower system and geographically diverse wind. This is a powerful synergy that strengthens the grid for both states. Marinus Link’s fibre optic cables will improve digital connectivity between Tasmania and Victoria by 150 times. After years of planning and design, construction is on the horizon. Marinus Link is jointly owned by the Commonwealth of Australia, the State of Tasmania and the State of Victoria.
