Background

Brooklyn Terminal Station is an operating electricity transmission site in Melbourne's inner west. The Australian Energy Market Operator records AusNet as both its owner and site operator. The station forms part of the transmission infrastructure serving large electricity loads west of central Melbourne.

Later grid-supply increases for NEXTDC's M3 data-centre campus at West Footscray depend on transformer projects at Brooklyn. Those transformer projects are separate from Jemena's proposed local distribution line to M3. The transmission station and distribution connection therefore represent different parts of the campus's power route, with Brooklyn controlling later increments rather than the first connection alone.
