EPEC's History

EPEC Group is Australia’s specialist high-voltage engineering and EPC partner for renewable energy grid connections.

Since 2019, we have delivered power system engineering, substation design and construction, SCADA, commissioning, and grid compliance services for some of Australia’s most complex renewable energy projects — including utility-scale solar farms, battery energy storage systems, and high-voltage substations connecting to the NEM at voltages from 33kV to 330kV.

What sets EPEC apart is that everything is delivered in-house, under a single point of accountability. By integrating connection strategy, power system modelling, EPC construction, and regulatory compliance within one team, we reduce risk, eliminate handover failures, and give developers, investors, and asset owners the certainty they need to reach commercial operation on time.
