Project Description
CopperString 2.0 has been classified as a Coordinated Project by the Queensland Coordinator General.
The project comprises a high-voltage transmission line that will connect the people and communities of Mount Isa and the North West Minerals Province to the national electricity grid.
It will supply electricity to existing customers in North West Queensland and deliver opportunities for new industrial facilities and large agricultural and renewable-energy projects.
The total network being developed will stretch for up to 1 000 km and comprise a high-voltage transmission line from a substation on the Ross-to-Strathmore transmission line, south of Townsville, to a substation near Cloncurry and then on to Mount Isa.
Potential Job Creation
The project will create about 750 new full-time jobs during construction and about 30 ongoing operational and maintenance jobs. Significant indirect employment opportunities are also expected to arise, as a result of the construction and commissioning of the project, with flow-on economic benefits for local communities between Townsville and Mount Isa.
Capital Expenditure
The project is estimated at A$1.5-billion.
Planned Start/End Date
The project is expected to start construction in mid-2021 and to be completed in 2024.
