CitiPower and Powercor

We are excited to launch new competitions in our energy flexibility marketplace.    Traditionally, when parts of the network reach capacity, the only option was to undertake ‘poles and wires’ upgrades.    But now, we are inviting third parties to propose innovative ways to achieve similar results using different technologies at a lower cost. That could be through batteries, virtual power plants, demand management or other innovative approaches.    We worked with Piclo to bring our marketplace to life in 2024. Now, in its second year, we look forward to seeing how businesses, community groups, government bodies and other bidders propose to make electricity more reliable and affordable for our customers.    Head to our website to learn more and register for the webinar.  https://lnkd.in/gwgaJkEY

Today is National Close the Gap Day – a day of action to support health and wellbeing equality for First Peoples. The gap in health, life expectancy and socioeconomic wellbeing between First Peoples and non-Indigenous Australians remains significant and today is a reminder of the work still to be done. At CitiPower and Powercor, we’re committed to Closing the Gap through our Reconciliation Action Plan and DEI Strategy. That means creating meaningful opportunities for First Peoples, businesses and organisations - through procurement, employment and skills development programs designed to drive lasting economic and social outcomes. To mark National Close the Gap Day we worked with Clontarf Foundation to host a group of young First Peoples from Ballarat and Warrnambool to spark engagement and interest in our First Peoples Pre-Apprenticeship Program. The students had the chance to: 💡 Hear from First Peoples within our business 💡 Test their skills putting on bolts with G&B gloves and sleeves 💡 Experience an elevated work platform ride - a definite highlight for the group! #NationalCloseTheGapDay #ClosingTheGap #Reconciliation #Clontarf #CTG

This Neurodiversity Celebration Week, we’re proud to celebrate the strengths and perspectives of our neurodivergent employees. As part of our 2025-26 Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategy, neurodiversity is a new focus area - because building an inclusive workplace means recognising and supporting people of all kinds of abilities. From awareness and training to meaningful action, we’re dedicated to creating a culture where everyone can do their best work, just like Teng. Let’s celebrate our differences and champion inclusion, this week and every week. #NeurodiversityCelebrationWeek #Inclusion #DEI #Neurodiversity

International Women’s Day is more than just a celebration - it’s a moment to reflect on the progress we’ve made - and the work still ahead of us. Our 2025-2026 Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Strategy highlights gender diversity as a key focus area and we continue to work hard to break barriers and create opportunities for all. That's why we're so thrilled today to be awarded for our outstanding achievements in employee voice and employee resource groups (ERGs) at WORK180's Equitable Workplace Awards 2025. #WORK180 #IWD #InternationalWomensDay

Some great coverage on our plan to offer some regional customers at the edge of our network the opportunity to go off-grid and improve their energy reliability. The initiative involves providing 17 sites with a combination of solar, battery storage and backup generators and decomissioning Single Wire Earth Return (SWER) powerlines. It's a solution that aligns with our broader efforts to upgrade infrastructure and improve energy access for regional customers while minimising costs. “All customers no matter where they live are more reliant on electricity than ever before so it’s essential we are able to deliver the power they need,” said Powercor’s General Manager of regulation, Renate Vogt. “Our tailored package is designed to lift reliability and capacity for regional and rural customers, bridging the gap between city and country customers’ access to electrification opportunities."
