In 2023, Marinus Link re-engaged Ernst and Young (EY) to update previous analysis of Project Marinus’ economic contribution to both Tasmania and Victoria.
The 2023 analysis is an updated and comprehensive consideration of the:
- Direct and indirect jobs created by Project Marinus, consisting of both stages of Marinus Link and the North West Transmission Developments.
- Direct effects of an industry (i.e. revenues or output) relevant to both Tasmania and Victoria.
- Flow-on (‘indirect’ and ‘induced’) effects of construction and operating phases.
