Environment Effects Statement
Understanding alternative options
An assessment of alternatives has been undertaken as part of preparing the Western Renewables Link Environment Effects Statement (EES) along with a feasibility assessment for an underground transmission line. EES scoping requirements required us to consider feasible alternatives including potential corridors and alignments, and other feasible alternatives including those raised by the community, landholders or other stakeholders.
A number of alternatives were considered in the development of the project, including alternative overhead routes, and partial underground routes at Darley. We understand that undergrounding is something many in the community care deeply about.
The Environment Effects Statement (EES) explains why undergrounding does not meet the project objectives and is therefore not feasible for the Western Renewables Link.
For more detail, please explore the alternate options and undergrounding assessments in the EES.
