UE appoints Tenix as provider of operational services

United Energy, an Australian energy company, has appointed Tenix as a service provider of operational services to its southern region, effective 1 January 2012. This announcement follows UE’s statement on 4 February 2011, advising that it had signed a new contract for operations delivery with Jemena for services to UE’s northern region, in addition to Jemena providing some other services on a transitional basis.

The appointment of Tenix as a UE service provider followed a thorough and competitive tender process. Tenix is a provider of end-to-end services to owners of electricity, gas, water and other network, transport and industrial assets across Australia, New Zealand, the Pacific Islands and the USA. Tenix designs, constructs, operates, maintains and manages assets and systems.

United Energy distributes electricity to approximately 630,000 customers across south-east Melbourne and the Mornington Peninsula.
