Welcome
The Basslink Interconnector enhances security of supply on both sides of Bass Strait; protecting Tasmania against the risk of drought-constrained energy shortages while providing Victoria and southern states with secure renewable energy during times of peak demand.
The Basslink Interconnector was the longest HVDC cable of its type in the world at time of construction and is still one of the longest. Owned by Keppel Infrastructure Trust, Basslink delivers excellence in the areas of safety, reliability and performance.
Basslink has a number of fibre optic assets which carry high speed telecommunication traffic. Basslink Telecoms Pty Limited (“Basslink Telecoms”) offers a range of wholesale transmission services between Tasmania and Victoria.
