Speaking about the opening of their new office, GridBeyond Australia Sales Director Lisa Balk said:

“Closing out our first year here in Australia couldn’t be more fitting than with the opening of a new Head Office in Sydney. We have been fortunate to have built on our portfolio globally and enter the Australian market stronger than we could have predicted. With a steadily growing portfolio of clients, supported by a specialist team of people within GridBeyond here in Australia, we look forward to continued growth across the Energy industry through supporting large C&I businesses to monetise their assets and assist to offset rapidly growing energy bills. Meeting Minister Coveney and receiving his well wishes was a personal career highlight for me. GridBeyond would also like to thank the Enterprise Ireland team for their continued support throughout this year.”

Eoin Hughes, Enterprise Ireland A/NZ’s Energy Lead added: “Awareness of demand response programmes as an additional revenue generator, grid stabilizer and renewable energy facilitator is growing in the local market thanks to companies like GridBeyond, who are educating large energy consumers and providing the technology to access these programmes. It’s an exciting time for the company who is helping to lead the charge in this area here in Australia”.
