Powerlink Queensland

Powerlink Queensland is a State Government-owned corporation which owns, develops, operates and maintains the $6 billion high voltage transmission network in Queensland.

Our network of high voltage substations and transmission lines extends 1,700km from Cairns to the New South Wales border – approximately half of Australia’s eastern seaboard.

Powerlink’s transmission network is the central link in the electricity supply chain, transporting electricity from power stations where it is generated, to distributors Ergon Energy, ENERGEX and Essential Energy that deliver electricity to around two million customers.

Powerlink also transports electricity directly to industrial customers in Queensland and to New South Wales via the Queensland/New South Wales Interconnector transmission line.

Powerlink does not generate or buy or sell electricity – we simply transport it ‘in bulk’ from wherever it is generated across our high voltage transmission network to where it is needed.

We’re recognised by benchmark authorities as a world leader in cost efficiency and reliability, and are committed to responsible environmental management, open communication and consultation on projects, and empowering our people to make Powerlink a great place to work.
