The Australian government will utilise Tasmania’s renewable energy potential through significant investment in an interconnector to bring hydroelectricity to the mainland.

The Marinus Link, a 1,500-megawatt capacity undersea and underground cable, will export low-cost, reliable hydroelectricity from Tasmania’s Battery of the Nation and across the state into the national electricity grid when it is most needed.
