Green energy hopeful Sun Cable has appointed two experienced executives to drive the project’s development across the Northern Territory.

Cameron Garnsworthy has been appointed Sun Cable Australia’s managing director and Martin Hay the start-up’s chief development officer.

DarwinLink is the Australian onshore component of Sun Cable’s $35bn flagship AAPowerLink project and includes the development of the world’s largest integrated renewable energy zone at

Powell Creek, in the Barkly region, along with 800km of overhead high voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission to the Darwin region.

The project plans to deliver up to 6GW of baseload, renewable electricity to Darwin to potentially develop a new wave of green industrial development in the Territory, and for export to Singapore via SunCable’s SingaporeLink project.

Sun Cable plans to deliver energy to Singapore via a subsea cable from the Territory’s top end.

The new executives will report into Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners, who are leading the AAPowerLink onshore development strategy.

Martin has been involved with major energy projects in the Territory since 2001 and was based in Darwin from 2005 to 2010 for the commissioning and early operations phases of the Darwin LNG and Bayu Undan projects.

Cameron has over twenty years of global experience spanning the development, construction, and operation of over thirty solar, wind and battery projects across Australia and Europe.

David Scaysbrook from Quinbrook Infrastructure Partners said the appointments were a project milestone.

“Bringing Cameron and Martin into the Sun Cable team underscores our goal of delivering on the huge potential of DarwinLink, which underpins our primary focus on this genuine superpower opportunity for the Territory and for Australia.

“Delivering groundbreaking infrastructure projects like DarwinLink needs a team with

experience, vision and real horsepower and we certainly have that with this team.”
