Industry awards finalists revealed
The shortlist for the annual Energy Network Industry Innovation Award has been announced by Energy Networks Australia.
The finalists are Energy Queensland, SA Power Networks, Transgrid and Western Power.
"This is the most momentous period of change for the energy sector with rapidly growing levels of distributed energy resources such as solar and household batteries," said Energy Networks Australia CEO Andrew Dillon.
"Networks are creating a smarter grid, giving customers more control over their energy use and encouraging better management of electricity demand.
"Finding innovative solutions to problems is a big part of creating a smarter grid for the future.
"These awards are a way to recognise groundbreaking initiatives, technology, services or solutions that have benefits to customers and help us to share learnings across the sector."
Energy Networks Australia congratulates nominees for the extremely high standard of the 11 entries to this year's award. The winner will be announced in October.
All nominations will be published in a report to celebrate the innovative work being done by energy networks across the nation.
