We are unique

We are a regional business that thinks on a global level. We work with determined, passionate and curious people to empower communities to share and use energy for a better tomorrow.

About the Project

Essential Energy has recently developed and commenced the implementation of the Digital Asset Management (DAM) Hub Project.

Digital Asset Management involves using digital data sources to gain insights and improve operational efficiency for achieving corporate and asset management objectives. This technique includes identifying assets and their condition through digital information. Advanced applications of digital asset management include creating a digital twin of the network using an engineering-grade analytics engine to gain insights about the entire network.
