Comparing high-voltage overhead and underground transmission infrastructure (up to 500kV)
Published November 2023
Based on the experience of transmission network service providers (TNSP) in other states Powerlink Queensland commissioned this collaborative research project between Curtin University and the University of Queensland. The aim of this report is to provide the latest independent scientific information to inform a clear and consistent approach to the consideration of undergrounding of transmission infrastructure and the associated trade-offs.
