CopperString is a high-voltage overhead electricity transmission line across Central Queensland, connecting Mount Isa’s isolated electricity supply network into the National Electricity Market (NEM) at Woodstock, south of Townsville.
CopperString will provide connection options through the NEM for mines and industrial customers in the North West Minerals Province, and regional wind and solar resources, and potentially hydrogen production facilities along the corridor from Townsville to Mount Isa in Western Queensland.
The project will consist of approximately 1,000 km of lines, sub-stations, and an optic communication network.
