We Got The Power
Whether you live, work, or just dream about life in the ‘way-outback’ – access to a reliable source of electricity is critical to getting nearly anything done.
More than half a million Australians are based in remote areas. Some our most major industries, like mining, are also in places where our electricity poles and wires just don’t reach.
In order to get power right where its needed, GE is investing in “Distributed Power” – a portfolio of on-site power generation systems that are easier to finance, faster to install and more reliable. Whether it’s a natural gas turbine or a renewable energy source like wind, distributed power technologies are usually delivering less than 100MW. These smaller scale solutions are more reliable and better for the environment than the alternative options, like transporting diesel fuel.
With more options to plug in, life in Australia’s remote areas might feel a little more connected very soon.
