Terranora interconnector (formerly named Directlink) is a high voltage direct current electricity transmission line between Mullumbimby, New South Wales () and Bungalora, New South Wales () in Australia. It is one of the two interconnections used to trade electricity between New South Wales and Queensland (the other one is Queensland – New South Wales Interconnector).〔〔 For environmental protection reasons it is implemented as underground cables. ==History== The interconnector was developed by a joint venture of NorthPower (later Country Energy), TransÉnergie–a subsidiary of Hydro-Québec, and ''Fonds de solidarité FTQ''.〔〔 〕 The reason behind the interconnector was the power shortage in Southern Queensland and surplus capacities in New South Wales.〔 It was commissioned in December 1999 and it started operations in April 2000.〔 〕〔 〕 It was the first time that transmission systems of New South Wales and Queensland were linked.〔 〕 The construction cost US$70 million.〔 〕 In December 2006, it was announced that the cable will be purchased by Australian Pipeline Trust, a part of APA Group, for US$133 million.〔 〕〔 The transaction was completed in February 2007.〔 〕 In December 2008, ownership of the interconnector was transferred to the Energy Infrastructure Investments Group, although APA Group remained the operator.〔 〕 Originally, the interconnector operated as a market network service. However, on 6 May 2004 an application to convert it to a regulated network service was submitted. The application was approved by the Australian Energy Regulator on 10 March 2006.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Terranora interconnector」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
