ZTT Australia supplies wind farm project

Onโ€‘Time Deliveries for Critical Transmission Lines

Earlier this year,ย ZTT Australiaย delivered the first batch ofย conductorsย andย OPGWย for theย Rye Park Wind Farmย 330 kV transmission line and 33 kV overhead power line. The team completed delivery safely and on schedule, which helps keep the overall project timeline on track.

Under the current contract, ZTT Australia will supplyย 368 km of conductors,ย 39 km of OPGW, and a full range of accessories needed for commissioning. As a result, the company again shows that it can provide aย complete overhead transmission line solution, not just single components like poles or towers.

Rye Park Wind Farmโ€™s Contribution to Clean Power

Theย Rye Park Wind Farmย is aย 396 MWย onshore wind project withย 66 turbinesย and associated infrastructure. It sits north of Yass and east of Boorowa in New South Wales, near the town of Rye Park on the edge of the Southern Tablelands and Southโ€‘West Slopes.

Developers expect to commission the wind farm in theย first quarter of 2024. Once fully operational, the site should generate up toย 1,188 GWh of electricity per year, which will support Australiaโ€™s shift toward cleaner and more sustainable energy.

ZTTโ€™s Path from Fiber Optics to Renewables

ZTTย entered theย optical fiber communicationsย sector in 1992. Then, in 2002, the company began supporting theย smart grid, providing products that enhance grid intelligence and reliability. Later, in 2011, ZTT moved intoย renewable energy products, aligning its portfolio with global energy transition trends.

In 2020, ZTT spun offย Zhongtian Technology Submarine Cable Companyย as a separate public company. Today, ZTT ranks among theย Top 500 Chinese Enterprises, serves as the largest advanced manufacturing enterprise inย Nantong, and stands as the biggest privateโ€‘enterprise taxpayer inย Rudong. The company also holds recognition as aย National Key Highโ€‘tech Enterpriseย and has earned both theย China Quality Awardย and theย China Grand Awards for Industry.
