The Solution
The Western Victorian Community Alliance is ramping up its fight to demand energy transmission lines be placed underground, backed by a highly organized and strategic movement.
We are determined to stop AEMO’s plans outright or force substantial changes.
Our mission is clear: to protect landowners from the devastating impact of the Western Renewables Link by compelling the government to investigate and adopt alternative solutions. The Alliance stands firm—undergrounding the entire project is the only fair and sustainable path forward.
Undergrounding
The most appropriate way to minimise fire-risk and the damage to critical infrastructure would be using underground cables.
HVAC vs HVDC alternate
The fundamental reason that these projects are able to efficiently and economically achieve long distances underground, is because they use Direct Current (DC), rather than alternating current (AC).
