CitiPower and Powercor own and operate electricity distribution networks servicing 1.2 million customers while also enabling the renewable generation essential to transition to a clean energy future.
Our networks play an important role in the energy supply chain by providing reliable, safe and affordable electricity supplies. This involves a lot of innovation in managing the increasingly complex and sophisticated system behind it.
Our electricity networks are a crucial gateway to a clean energy future. Connections with renewable energy generators bring clean energy to industrial, commercial and residential customers. As more customers choose solar, batteries, electric vehicles or smart appliances, our networks are enabling new ways to generate, store, share and use power.
Overlay this with the fact that our networks traverse some of Victoria’s highest bushfire risk areas and regions at risk from the impacts of climate change. We support customer choice while also keeping communities safe and maintaining system security and network stability.
Our team of professionals in network strategy and planning, asset management, major projects, field operations, and IT are at the forefront of addressing these challenges.
Join us today. Be a part of an industry leader that shapes the future for energy.
