HVDC enables long-distance energy transmission with lower losses
Unlike traditional AC transmission, High Voltage Direct Current (HVDC) can move large amounts of electricity over thousands of kilometres more efficiently. This makes it ideal for connecting renewable energy zones, offshore wind, remote mining regions and interstate grids across a vast country like Australia.

HVDC improves grid stability and energy security
HVDC links can connect separate power systems while helping manage fluctuations in supply and demand. They provide greater control over power flows, reduce congestion on existing networks and strengthen resilience during outages or extreme weather events — critical for Australia’s evolving energy market.

HVDC is essential for large-scale renewable integration
Renewable energy resources are often located far from cities and industrial centres. HVDC infrastructure helps unlock stranded solar, wind and hydrogen projects by transporting clean energy efficiently to where it is needed, supporting decarbonisation and future industrial growth.

Province’s HyEnergy® HVDC could unlock renewable power generation for the east coast of Australia.
Every winter, wind speeds tend to drop in Australia’s population centres in the southeast while solar output is low. But inland northern regions are usually sunny and windy at this time. A long-distance HVDC line from Carnarvon in Western Australia could unlock these resources by connecting renewables power to the eastern gas markets.
