Marinus Link – Meet the Proponents

‘Meet the Proponents’ sessions provide an opportunity for contractors and suppliers to receive a project update from Marinus Link leaders, connect with representatives from Marinus Link’s shortlisted proponents and hear from key industry agencies including the Industry Capability Network.

Marinus Link is a proposed undersea and underground electricity and data interconnector between North West Tasmania and the Latrobe Valley in Victoria. It will improve the connection between Tasmania and the national grid, enabling the flow of more electricity and data in both directions.

The project includes high voltage direct current cables, fibre optic cables, a communications station, and converter stations at each end - at Heybridge in Tasmania and Hazelwood in Victoria.

The project’s cables span 345 kilometres (km). This includes 255 km of undersea cables across Bass Strait and 90 km of underground cables in Gippsland, Victoria.

Marinus Link is currently in planning and development, with Stage 1 construction expected to begin in 2026 and be completed by 2030.

Key milestones in 2024 include the completion of two major tenders for submarine and land cables and the highly specialised converter station technology.

The project is now conducting a major civils and construction tender called the ‘Balance of Works’ and has shortlisted two proponents.

The Balance of Works scope covers onshore civil and installation works, including constructing the converter station buildings and the land cable civil works.
