Australia's largest electricity distributor serving 1.7M customers across Sydney and regional NSW
Ausgrid operates the distribution grid for Sydney and surrounding regions, serving 1.7 million customers from households to large industrial sites. The tech stack (SAP, Azure Logic Apps, Kafka, Kubernetes, AutoCAD) and active project mix reveal heavy infrastructure modernization underway—battery storage systems, grid connection automation, and embedded generation management—while pain points around DER (distributed energy resource) performance, compliance, and forecasting suggest the grid transformation is outpacing internal tooling maturity.
