Project Assessment Conclusions Report indicates that Project Marinus delivers significant positive net economic benefits to the National Electricity Market from its earliest commissioning timeline of 2027 for the first 750 MW stage, and 2029 for the second 750 MW stage. The independent modelling conducted for the PACR, completed by Ernst & Young, also supports the establishment of regulated revenue streams for Marinus Link and North West Transmission Developments, with the project providing greater benefits to the NEM than its cost. Wholesale Pricing Report TasNetworks engaged FTI Consulting (FTI), an independent global advisory firm, to undertake analysis on wholesale energy price benefits if Project Marinus proceeds. This work was commissioned in response to stakeholder feedback-seeking information about the customer pricing impacts and beneficiaries of Project Marinus. The independent Wholesale Pricing Report shows that Marinus Link is able to exert downward pressure on wholesale electricity prices because it enhances the NEM’s access to Tasmania’s low cost, high volume dispatchable energy resources including latent hydro capacity, high quality wind resources, and deep energy storage capability.
