The State Government has identified four priority corridors for the development of new common user transmission infrastructure in the Pilbara. As part of the Expression of Interest process, proponents within these corridors were invited to apply for Priority Project status as part of the Pilbara Energy Transmission (PET) Plan. The EOI identifies that successful proponents will enter into Corridor Development Agreement negotiations with a State Government entity ‘CorridorCo’.
YEC proposes to develop high-voltage, common-user transmission infrastructure, linking Yindjibarndi Ngurra and the western Pilbara region to the North West Interconnected System (NWIS) through the Maitland Strategic Industrial Area, a significant industrial development zone situated approximately 24 km west of Karratha and 39 km south of Dampier Port in Western Australia.
