Industrial power upgrade — Australia (Q2 program)

Scalable electrical upgrades for manufacturing and heavy industry: capacity planning, switchgear, transformer replacement, and combined mechanical-electrical integration to minimise downtime and ensure compliance with AUS standards.

  • Typical upgrade: 500 kVA — 2 MVA
  • Services: Load studies, power factor correction, SCADA, protective relays
Upgraded switchroom

Why upgrade now?

Many Australian industrial sites face constraints from legacy low-capacity panels, outdated protection, and inefficient transformers. Upgrading improves reliability, reduces energy costs, and supports future automation and EV charging loads.

  • Reduce outage risk with modern protection
  • Reduce losses via efficient transformers
  • Prepare for electrification and automation
