As the sector evolves, companies that design, build and maintain major electrical infrastructure hold the key to ensuring Australia’s energy system is reliable and resilient.
Enerven plays a critical role across the entire energy ecosystem, from power generation to transmission, distribution, and residential projects. The company’s expertise also spans telecommunications and emerging technologies, contributing at every level to build and maintain Australia’s essential infrastructure.
Recently Enerven delivered the Zero Cost Energy Future project, which involved the engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning of 242GWh of solar and 34MWh of energy storage across 33 sites in metropolitan and regional South Australia – all of which were completed within 24 months.
Enerven CEO, Richard Amato, said delivering a project of this magnitude within such a short timeframe required innovation at every step.
“The Zero Cost Energy Future project is a prime example of how we approach complex challenges – by combining technical expertise with agile solutions to meet our clients’ goals,” Mr Amato said.
Enerven’s work also includes some of the largest BESS (battery energy storage systems) in Australia – such as the Torrens Island 250MW, 250MWh BESS project in South Australia, which plays a key role in stabilising the grid and integrating renewable energy.
In New South Wales, Enerven is also charging ahead with the Eraring Battery project, which is set to be one of the largest BESS in the country, delivering a combined capacity of more than 700MW across two stages.
“The Torrens Island and Eraring batteries are just two examples of how we are supporting Australia’s transition to renewable energy, delivering solutions for our clients that will power the future,” Mr Amato said.
Enerven also provides comprehensive solutions for both power transmission and distribution. These services include designing, constructing and maintaining transmission lines and substations up to 500kV, as well as step-up transformer assembly, testing and maintenance. This is in addition to the company’s modern infrastructure solutions, such as electric vehicle charging stations, smart metering, virtual power plants and underground residential development.Mr Amato said that Enerven’s background in regulated energy markets is one of its greatest strengths.
“It enables us to deliver solutions that are both robust and scalable in deregulated environments, where flexibility and innovation are crucial. This unique experience allows us to meet the complex demands of our clients with precision,” he said.
“Some of the biggest organisations in mining, defence, and transmission and distribution trust us to look after their assets and infrastructure.”
Rooted in South Australia but with a national reach, Enerven’s workforce is skilled, diverse, and equipped to tackle a wide range of challenges.
“We’re not just focused on building for the present; we’re designing and building for the future,” Mr Amato said.
“As the energy and telecommunications sectors continue to evolve, our ability to deliver innovative, resilient infrastructure solutions will only become more important.
“We’re proud of the work we do. Our teams are at the forefront of some of the most innovative projects in the country, and our commitment to delivering long-lasting, reliable infrastructure ensures that Australia is well-equipped for whatever the future may hold.”
