Ingham South Substation Reinvestment Project

Overview 

The Ingham South Substation is an important part of Powerlink’s 132kV transmission network helping to supply electricity to the wider Ingham area and Ergon Energy’s 66kV Ingham Substation.  

The Ingham South Substation Reinvestment Project will involve upgrading critical equipment and installing a new control building, designed to Q200 flood levels, to support a safe, secure and reliable electricity supply into the future.  

The project is being delivered in stages over a three-year period with all works expected to be completed by November 2028.  

Status 

The first stage of works will commence from Monday 3 August 2026 and will continue through to mid-December 2026.  

As some construction activities may take up to 12 hours and must continue once they start, work crews will be onsite between 6.00am and 6.00pm, Monday to Sunday.  

Various machinery will be used for the works including forklifts, excavators, cranes and other heavy vehicles.  

We will work to minimise noise and dust impacts to neighouring properties, wherever possible, and will keep project stakeholders updated on works and timings as the project progresses.
