The world’s changing climate and growing need for reliable electricity puts added pressure on the global power industry to develop cleaner, more-efficient energy solutions. AECOM’s integrated approach delivers full life-cycle support to help clients meet those challenges.
Breadth of industry experience
Whether you operate in a regulated energy market, or energy supply is critical to your business, our experienced power team have a broad set of capabilities that allow us to add value to all aspects of power systems, including Power Generation, Power Transmission and Distribution, Energy Storage and Energy Supply to Critical Infrastructure (Transportation, Industry, Water, Defence).
We have worked on strategic energy projects of every type and size, totalling more than 60,000MW of installed capacity, 7,200km of transmission lines and over A$800 million in energy efficiency and optimisation improvements.
Local and global capability
With over 200 professionals, AECOM has one of the largest and most-experienced power teams in Australia and New Zealand (ANZ), with offices in all major cities, including Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Auckland, Perth, Adelaide, Wellington and Christchurch. Our power specialists are also able to draw on our multi-disciplinary colleagues within a team of 3,500+ people across ANZ, and over 90,000 professionals globally. In Australia, New Zealand and around the world, we deliver solutions across energy efficiency, carbon management, energy planning, environmental and economics, transmission and distribution, thermal and geothermal, wind and solar, and hydropower and dams. In addition, we have two offshore Global Delivery Centres staffed with qualified engineering professionals in China and Romania that provide high-value and high-quality support to our local teams.
What sets us apart?
AECOM has adjacent skills/capability that differentiates us compared to our competition in areas as diverse as:
Environmental Services – Protecting the environment is fundamental to our power clients’ social licence to operate. Our environmental experience helps our power clients solve the most-complex environmental challenges throughout the business lifecycle, including asset development, operations optimisation, integrated products and restoration and re-use.
Climate Change/Resilience – The lifecycle of a power asset typically exposes those assets to the consequences of climate change. Our climate change and resilience capability helps our clients make informed decisions associated with their power assets.
Integrated Delivery – Our power team works closely with our construction services team to provide an integrated delivery service across the development phase of power assets.
Digital – While the construction industry has embraced digital technology, the power market is playing catch-up. Our global cross-sectoral experience of digital engineering and digital solutions allows us to work with power clients to move to a digital future.
Cities – Smart, integrated energy use is key to making cities better places in which to live, do business and coexist with nature. Our power team, when combined with our national cities team, provides the value of an integrated, multi-disciplinary approach to our clients, which helps cities thrive in the face of unprecedented challenges.
Decommissioning – As we move away from a power market that is dominated by large, centralised, baseload, fossil-fuelled power generation, safe and environmentally responsible closure and decommissioning of those assets will be critical. Our global major power facility decommissioning team complements our growing local decommissioning experience.
