00:00It is a really significant moment. I don't think it's an over-exaggeration to say it's
00:10one of the most important projects in New South Wales.
00:13Coal is closing. In infrastructure terms, a very short timetable for us to get something
00:20in place. And to get renewables built, we need a lot of transmission built.
00:24We're proud that Energy Coal has selected TransGrid as the preferred network operator
00:28for the Hunter transmission project. We're really looking forward to working with Energy
00:32Coal to deliver this important project.
00:41We are really excited about the local job generation of this project. 700 jobs created
00:48during construction, labourers, engineers, electricians.
00:53It's going to connect and bring clean, reliable energy from the renewable energy zones.
00:58We have world-leading renewable resources in regional New South Wales and we're connecting
01:05the incredible sun and wind to create the cheapest form of electricity, connecting it
01:10to all the other homes and businesses in New South Wales.
