Drawing on Downer's experience delivering complex grid connection infrastructure, we provide the critical balance of plant infrastructure that allows energy storage projects to connect safely and reliably to the network.
With deep expertise across the energy sector, Downer works closely with developers, network operators and asset owners to navigate connection requirements and deliver integrated solutions from design through to construction and commissioning.
By bringing together multidisciplinary engineering, utility and construction capabilities, we help accelerate project delivery while supporting the reliability and resilience of Australia’s evolving energy system.
Our capability spans substations, high-voltage connections, transmission and distribution infrastructure, protection and control systems, and the civil works required to support successful project delivery.
