Microgrid Opportunity Ergon Energy is actively developing high-voltage microgrid projects in regional Queensland, including the Mossman stronghold collaboration with MGCC. This presents a sales opportunity for specialized energy management software, scalable hardware, grid automation, and local support services to design, deploy, and operate distributed generation and resilience solutions for remote communities.

Apprenticeship programs With ongoing apprenticeship recruitment campaigns and pre-apprenticeship cadetships in collaboration with TAFE Queensland, there is potential to offer workforce training tech, LMS platforms, safety training solutions, and vendor partnerships that support skill development, compliance, and scalable workforce onboarding.

Asset Safety & Compliance Past safety incidents and Category 2 electrical safety duty concerns indicate a need for enhanced safety management, risk analytics, compliance tooling, and incident reporting platforms. Solutions in risk assessment, audit trails, and safety training could help mitigate regulatory exposure and improve operational safety culture.

Partnership Ecosystem Strategic partnerships with network providers and service integrators (Primary Comms Group, Ausgrid, Energex, etc.) imply openness to vendor ecosystems. This creates opportunities for integrated solutions in network monitoring, cybersecurity, OT/IT convergence, and managed services that align with cross-operator programs.

Sustainability & Billing tech As Ergon emphasizes safe, reliable and sustainable energy solutions across Queensland, there is potential to upsell energy analytics, demand-side management, and advanced metering or customer engagement tools that enhance efficiency, renewable integration, and inclusive pricing for a broad customer base.
