In this particular case – nothing. Western Power has consistently outlined plans for a terminal substation. This would be constructed in stages, the first would be for a 4 ha switchyard (a connection point for transmission lines of the same voltage). Shortly after the facility would be developed into a full 20 ha substation with transformers and additional 27 transmission lines running in all directions!
