Paris, 10 March 2025 – As part of its growth strategy, RTE international announces the opening of its new subsidiary in Oceania, RTEi Australia Pacific. This significant step in the company’s development strengthens its footprint in the Australian energy market and promotes the regional energy transition.
A longstanding presence in the Australian energy market
RTE international has been active in Australia for over a decade through its partnership with Powerlink, the Queensland electricity transmission system operator (TSO). Over the years, RTE international’s teams have provided their expertise in live working, including technical assistance, training, audits, as well as the supply of equipment and materials.
Building on this relationship, RTE international signed a new partnership agreement in 2023, further strengthening its collaboration with Powerlink. In addition, the company supports EDF Australia in the bidding phases and the development of transmission projects launched by the governments of New South Wales and Victoria. These projects aim to design, construct, and operate 500 kV transmission infrastructure, either integrating new renewable energy capacity or enhancing inter-state grid connections. Thus, supporting the country’s energy transition.
Energy transition and grid modernisation: addressing the challenges of the Australian energy market
Australia represents a key market for RTE international, given the country’s strong commitment to energy transition, renewable integration, and the modernisation of its electricity infrastructure. By positioning itself as a local service provider, RTEi Australia Pacific aims to play a pivotal role in the modernisation of the Australian electricity sector and actively contribute to the country’s energy transition.
The launch of RTEi Australia Pacific marks a key milestone in RTE international’s global growth strategy. This local presence allows us to share our expertise in engineering, live working, or high-voltage direct current (HVDC) solutions, contributing to the development of Australia’s energy infrastructure. By being closer to local stakeholders, we reinforce our commitment to supporting the country’s energy transition and strengthening our position in the region.
“We are proud to extend our expertise and services to Oceania with the launch of RTEi Australia Pacific. We are confident that this subsidiary will strengthen our existing partnerships and unlock new opportunities in the Australian energy market, addressing the critical challenges of energy transition. RTEi Australia Pacific embodies our commitment to shaping the sustainable electricity infrastructure of the future.“ – Veronika Milewski, CEO of RTE international
