Development and future networks (including Mondo)
Development and future networks provides contracted infrastructure asset and energy services to support the management of electricity and gas networks that fall outside the regulated asset base.
We're introducing more green energy to the grid by connecting wind farms, solar farms, and energy storage. Our mini-grids and solar programs are supporting regional communities to become more resilient and achieve their energy goals.
