Landholders on the Merriwa Cassilis Plateau are protesting a proposal by electricity company Transgrid to build a transmission line corridor that would cut through productive farmland.
Transgrid has plans to establish two high voltage powerlines which would link the NSW government’s pilot Central-West Orana Renewal Energy Zone with its existing electricity grid.
Landholders are asking that Transgrid considers alternative powerline routes so that their ability to farm and complete broad-scale cropping activities would not be impacted by the electricity highway.
