Project background
Mount Buller engaged us to support increasing its electricity capacity ahead of the 2023 snow season. This upgrade related to a $3.6m Victorian Government grant for the resort to fund an additional supply 4MVA of supply capacity, facilitating increases to snow-making capacity and improving network infrastructure in the area.
What we did
We replaced power poles and powerlines along Mount Buller Road and surrounding access roads between Merrijig and Mount Buller Alpine Village. We also installed new infrastructure along the Bourke Street ski run in Mount Buller.
Our team used high voltage generators to minimise power interruptions where possible, and worked closely with the local community to ensure they were informed of any property access requirements in advance.
Long-term benefits
These works will improve the electricity capacity of Mount Buller to cater to tourism demand and reduce the chance of outages during peak periods during snow seasons.
