Tasmania warns it will not cross 'line in the sand' over 'battery of the nation' power cable costs

Tasmania's premier says the cost of the multi-billion-dollar Marinus Link undersea power cable project has blown out — and warns it does not make sense for his state at "any price".

  • In short: A proposed undersea electricity project connecting Tasmania to the mainland is under threat due to increasing costs, with Tasmania’s government flagging it wants to renegotiate the terms of the deal

  • What’s next? Tasmania’s premier says he has spoken to Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, and discussions about alternative funding are continuing

    It’s kind of a shame. Joining Tassie to the mainland grid means it could take advantage if we hook the mainland to elsewhere. Instead it feels like each state individually thinks they will do their own renewable thing. Maybe…eventually…

    It’s hard to envision how the future looks. Will each house be nearly self sufficient, eg with solar/battery or are we still looking at centralised power production/storage?
