The role of Marinus Link in Australia’s Renewable Energy Transition

Australia’s clean energy transition is accelerating – but new transmission infrastructure is critical to replace ageing coal plants and meet emissions targets. In this new report, Nexa Advisory explores the pivotal role of the Marinus Link – a proposed interconnector between Tasmania and mainland Australia.

Independent modelling by Endgame Economics finds that Marinus Link is essential for:

• Meeting national and state renewable energy and emissions targets
• Reducing reliance on expensive and polluting gas generation
• Improving system resilience against climate and supply shocks
• Putting downward pressure on electricity prices for consumers

The report also outlines clear recommendations for governments, including co-funding nation-building transmission, fast-tracking regulatory processes, and supporting community engagement to build social licence.
