Powerlink Queensland

About Powerlink Queensland

Powerlink is a government-owned corporation that owns, develops, operates and maintains Queensland’s high-voltage electricity transmission network, which benchmarks in the top quartile internationally in terms of both cost efficiency and reliability.

Our $5.6 billion network extends 1,700km from north of Cairns to the New South Wales border - approximately half of Australia’s eastern seaboard.

As a Transmission Network Service Provider (TNSP) in the National Electricity Market, our primary role is to provide a secure and reliable network to transport high-voltage electricity from generators to electricity distribution networks owned by Energex, Ergon and Country Energy, which supply more than 1.8 million electricity customers. Powerlink also transports electricity directly to large Queensland customers such as aluminium smelters and to New South Wales via the NSW/Qld Interconnector.

We are recognised by benchmark authorities as a world leader in cost efficiency and reliability.

Through our consultancy and technical services, Powerlink offers our national and international customers access to the innovations and breadth of expertise we have developed through owning, developing, maintaining and operating our world standard network.
