About Us

Globally, energy markets are in transition to a net zero future and the entities within these markets are transforming their underlying business models to ensure that they stay relevant, sustainable and profitable. As one of Australia's largest energy providers, we are proud of our purpose to lead and accelerate the clean energy transformation.  Our ability to deliver on this Purpose will be dependent on our people.

• Facilitating solution implementation across embedded energy and bulk hot water systems.
• Establish, develop and maintain engagement with solution partners, contractors and stakeholders (including attending site visits, which at times require interstate travel).
