HumeLink West Project

Two CIMIC Group companies, UGL and CPB Contractors, have been selected by Transgrid to deliver the 130 km western section of the HumeLink high voltage electricity transmission project.

HumeLink is a new 500kV transmission project connecting Wagga Wagga, Maragle, and Bannaby in regional NSW, significantly increasing the capacity of the electricity network in Australia's eastern states. It is one of Australia's largest energy infrastructure projects, with approximately 365 km of proposed new transmission lines and various other infrastructure upgrades.

The HumeLink West scope of works, valued at $1.4 billion, includes the delivery of new 500kV double circuit transmission lines spanning approximately 140 km from Wagga Wagga Substation to a new substation at Gugaa, the interface point with HumeLink East near Gundagai, and a new substation at Maragle in the Snowy Mountains for future connection to Snowy 2.0.
