Enerven and ElectraNet extend network support for five years
Enerven and ElectraNet have signed a new five-year agreement to continue maintenance and emergency response work across South Australia’s transmission network.
The renewed deal covers ElectraNet’s transmission network and emergency response services. It supports reliable electricity supply for communities and industries across South Australia.
During the initial five-year term, Enerven and ElectraNet will reach three decades of working together. The companies have already partnered for nearly 30 years on critical infrastructure and network incidents.
The agreement continues a long-running role in South Australia’s electricity system. It combines routine maintenance with rapid response when faults or severe weather hit the network.
Richard Amato on 30-year partnership
Enerven chief executive Richard Amato said the renewal reflects a partnership built over time. He said it came from “consistently delivering, building trust and showing up when it matters most”.
Amato also credited Enerven staff for the length of the relationship. He said, “Our people are the reason this partnership has lasted.”
Across South Australia, Enerven teams have maintained critical infrastructure, responded during emergencies and helped keep power flowing to homes, businesses and communities. Amato said those efforts have supported the state for decades.
Looking ahead, Amato said the new agreement reflects a shared focus on future improvement. He said Enerven will keep working with ElectraNet to improve delivery, meet new challenges and support a reliable network for South Australians.
Simon Emms on renewable-led system
ElectraNet chief executive Simon Emms linked the renewal to broader changes in the state grid. He said South Australia has evolved into a “world-leading renewable-led energy system” over the past 20 years.
Emms also said Enerven had been “a trusted partner throughout this journey”. The comment tied the maintenance deal to major changes in the state’s energy mix.
Over the past 20 years, more renewable generation has entered South Australia’s electricity system. However, ElectraNet’s transmission network still needs regular upkeep and fast incident response.
Meanwhile, the new contract strengthens Enerven’s position as an infrastructure services provider. The company delivers maintenance, emergency response and major energy infrastructure projects across Australia.
For ElectraNet, the agreement secures experienced support for transmission network operations in South Australia. As a result, the utility can keep relying on a partner that knows its assets and emergency processes.
The new term gives both companies an initial five-year extension as they approach a 30-year milestone together. After nearly three decades of collaboration, Enerven and ElectraNet will continue working across South Australia.
