What Elecnor Australia does
Elecnor Australia is a privately-held EPC contractor and wholly-owned subsidiary of Spanish multinational Elecnor Group (ELECNOR, S.A.), established in 2014 to serve the Australian renewable energy and power infrastructure markets. The company delivers end-to-end engineering, procurement, construction, and operations and maintenance services for utility-scale solar farms, wind farms, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and high-voltage transmission infrastructure. Its flagship project is EnergyConnect, a 700km 330kV/500kV transmission line partnership with Transgrid — Australia's largest interconnector in the National Electricity Market, valued at approximately $3.6 billion — along with major projects including New England Solar Farm (522MW DC), Bungala Solar Farm (275MWp), Goyder South Wind Farm (412MW), Flyers Creek Wind Farm (145MW), Port Augusta Renewable Energy Park (220MW wind), and Blyth BESS (200MW/400MWh).
Technically, Elecnor Australia operates across the solar PV, onshore wind, BESS, and high-voltage transmission verticals, with documented technical differentiators including deployment of Australia's first single-axis tracking solar system (Moree Solar Farm), grid-forming inverter technology for BESS, and the construction of substations up to 500kV. The company employs more than 1,800 people in Australia across offices in Melbourne (regional HQ), Sydney, and Brisbane, with additional regional offices for O&M service delivery.
Revenue is generated primarily through project-based EPC contracts negotiated directly with Transmission Network Service Providers (e.g., Transgrid, Electranet), renewable energy developers (Neoen, Ark Energy), and major energy companies (AGL), supplemented by recurring O&M revenue streams on completed assets. The business is backed by Elecnor Group's financial strength — €4,387M in 2025 global sales, 28,000+ employees, and 68 years of corporate history — enabling Elecnor Australia to participate in consortium structures (e.g., with GE Renewables and NHOA Energy) and joint ventures such as Secure Energy JV for EnergyConnect delivery. Funding partners ARENA and CEFC have provided project-level capital support, including a $16.5M ARENA grant in December 2015.
