Specialist power solutions provider Genus has signed a Construction Services Panel Agreement (CSPA) with transmission network operator Transgrid.
The CSPA, which has an initial term of three years and potential extensions to a five-year term overall, will give Genus potential access to a pipeline of approximately $4 billion in projects across New South Wales.

These projects include critical transmission line work, substations (both construct-only and full design-and-construct packages), and infrastructure upgrades across Class B, C and D project tiers ranging from under $1 million to large-scale packages of up to $500 million.
“Transgrid’s ongoing relationship with Genus shows that we have the scale, the balance sheet, and most importantly, the people, to take on some of the biggest and most complex projects in the country,” Genus managing director David Riches said.
“We’re proud of what we’ve achieved, and even prouder of where we’re headed.”
Under the CSPA, Genus will be invited by Transgrid to tender for a wide range of essential work, including:
- Transmission line works—from access clearing to civil, steel and electrical works, insulation, testing, and commissioning.
- Substation and switching station projects—from asset life extensions to full system integration, metering, and communication systems.
- Design and construct projects—including new substations, augmentations of existing assets, installation of major equipment and Transgrid-supplied systems.
- Minor and early works—including preparatory activities, concept design, option studies, and minor upgrades.

This agreement marks another proud milestone in Genus’ rapid rise from a powerlines business in Perth to a national infrastructure force with over 1,400 directly employed staff, a $1.5 billion order book, and a growing reputation as one of Australia’s most agile, solutions-driven infrastructure providers.
“The projects under this agreement form part of the backbone of Australia’s future grid, and we’re honoured to be considered to help deliver work that will keep the lights on and support economic growth across the state,” Riches said.
