The Woree Substation project involved a range of complex upgrades, including secondary system enhancements, the installation of new 275kV bays, and 132kV Current Transformer Voltage Transformer (CTVT) installations. These upgrades, particularly the new 275kV bays, have been instrumental in connecting renewable energy centres in Northern Queensland and enhancing the reliability and monitoring of the 132kV network.

Throughout this period, the utilities team worked closely with Powerlink Queensland (PLQ) to ensure that all works were coordinated with PLQ’s outage windows, ensuring seamless execution and commissioning. Despite the complexities and challenges, the team maintained a strong safety record.
