NWTD March E-News Update The North West Transmission Developments (NWTD), being progressed by TasNetworks, include 240 km of new and upgraded transmission lines and other energy infrastructure that will increase the capacity of Tasmania's electricity network. The developments will enable Tasmania to become a world-leading renewable energy provider and support the decarbonisation of Australia. Designing Transmission TowersDetermining tower heights and design for the North West Transmission Developments is a complicated and involved task. It requires an understanding of land uses, environmental and geological factors, visual impacts as well as ensuring engineering standards are met. Eagle Nest SurveyingTasNetworks has been conducting eagle nest aerial inspections to find wedge-tailed eagle and white-bellied sea eagle nests in the vicinity of the proposed developments. These checks are crucial for gathering information as part of the assessment process.
