The new division, named Pacific Energy Connected (PEC), will support hydrogen projects nationally and deliver stand-alone power systems, battery storage systems and renewable energy microgrids to the National Electricity Market (NEM), east coast isolated networks and the mobility sector.
Based in Melbourne, PEC will complement Pacific Energy’s headquarters in Perth and provide the company with a national presence to serve its increasingly diversified customer base as the decarbonisation of industry becomes more pressing.
Pacific Energy CEO Jamie Cullen said, “We aspire for Pacific Energy to be as recognised as industry leaders on the east coast as we are in the west—the establishment of PEC is a critical step in realising this ambition.
“With the pipeline of opportunities aimed at decarbonising grid connected assets continuing to rapidly expand, this move will support our goal to be the go-to partner for clients seeking to solve their energy transition challenges.”
Energy industry veteran Mark Sinclair has been appointed as PEC’s managing director. Sinclair has over 30 years of experience across the Australian energy sector in leadership positions within renewables and clean tech businesses.
