The Calvale Substation near Biloela will be upgraded with new electrical equipment, including power transformers, which is expected to extend the life span of the substation for a minimum of 15 years, reports The Gladstone Observer.
The Gladstone region is home to two of the world’s largest alumina refineries. “This important work ensures continued system security and reliability to this major industrial hub and the wider Central Queensland area,” Powerlink’s CEO Merryn York said.
