Power and Energy continues to be one of the highest profile industries across Australia supporting significant parts of Australia’s primary industries as well as its domestic requirements. The industry covers everything from fuel production (coalmines, gas wells, etc) through to electricity generation, fuel processing, transmission, transportation, wholesale market operation, and retail sales. The industry is also characterised by the need to address community (and shortly market) expectations such as reduced greenhouse emissions, reduced water consumption, and increased use of renewable energy sources.

Key projects:
- Negotiation of major coal and gas supply arrangements for electricity generation;
