Building on Decades of Remote Power Experience
In 2015, MyEnergy acquired Alternative Energy Engineering, one of Australia's long-standing names in remote area power.
The acquisition brought decades of additional industry knowledge into the business through John Vandeleur, who had spent much of his career working with standalone and Remote Area Power Systems. That experience helped strengthen MyEnergy's practical approach to system design — understanding not only how equipment performs on paper, but how complete power systems need to operate in real-world remote environments.
It also reinforced a philosophy that remains important today: an off-grid system needs to be designed around the property, the loads, the people using it and the conditions it will operate in.
There is no one-size-fits-all off-grid system.
A Long History with Victron Energy
In 2016, MyEnergy became a Victron Energy distributor and authorised service agent in South Australia.
Victron has since become a major part of the MyEnergy business. Over the years, our team has designed, built, installed, commissioned and supported a large number of Victron systems ranging from residential off-grid installations through to substantial commercial and remote microgrid projects.
Our involvement goes well beyond supplying equipment.
Having worked with Victron products extensively in the field, our team understands how the equipment behaves as part of a complete power system — including battery integration, generator control, solar charging, monitoring, communications and system programming.
Today, MyEnergy continues to supply and support Victron equipment throughout Australia, backed by stock, technical knowledge and hands-on project experience from our Adelaide and Bendigo operations.
Growing the MyEnergy Team
In 2019, MyEnergy acquired AB Electrical, bringing Nick Battista and Sam Addis into the business as directors.
This helped expand MyEnergy's electrical contracting and project delivery capability and supported the next stage of growth.
Since then, the company has continued to build an experienced in-house team across electrical, engineering, project management, service, procurement, sales and administration.
Today, MyEnergy employs around 40 people.
Keeping these capabilities within the business is an important part of how we operate. Our projects are not simply designed by one company, installed by another and supported by someone else.
Our team can manage a project from the early discussions and load analysis through to system design, equipment supply, fabrication, installation, commissioning, remote monitoring and ongoing support.
For customers in remote locations, that continuity matters.
From Off-Grid Homes to Large Remote Microgrids
Over the years, the scale and complexity of MyEnergy projects have continued to grow.
We still design and install off-grid systems for homes, farms and rural properties, but our work now also includes agricultural operations, commercial facilities, remote communities, tourism developments, mining applications and large hybrid power systems.
Projects have taken our team throughout regional and remote Australia and into the South Pacific.
Some installations are relatively straightforward standalone solar and battery systems. Others combine large solar arrays, battery storage, multiple inverter systems, diesel generators, control systems and remote monitoring into a complete microgrid.
Projects such as Southern Ocean Lodge on Kangaroo Island, the William Creek power system and major agricultural installations demonstrate the scale of systems our team is now capable of delivering.
These projects are often in locations where reliability isn't simply convenient — it is critical.
When there is no grid to fall back on, the system needs to be designed properly from the start.
Recognised for Our Work
MyEnergy's work in remote and renewable power has also received significant industry recognition.
The company has received multiple Master Electricians Industry Excellence Awards, including Clean Energy Project of the Year in 2023, 2024 and 2025, along with Master Electrician of the Year in 2024 and recognition across several major project, electrician and apprentice categories.
While the awards are something our team is proud of, they are ultimately a reflection of the projects behind them — challenging installations, difficult locations and systems that have required careful design, planning and delivery.
Still Focused on the Same Thing
More than 15 years after MyEnergy began, the business is much larger, the systems are more sophisticated and the projects take us much further from home.
But the reason we do the work hasn't changed.
We enjoy solving difficult power problems.
We work with customers who need dependable power beyond the reach of the grid, whether that is a family building an off-grid home, a farmer running critical infrastructure, a remote resort, or an organisation operating a large commercial site.
Our approach is based on proven equipment, practical system design, scalability and long-term support.
We don't design systems purely around ideal conditions. We consider winter production, peak loads, generator backup, future expansion, servicing and what happens when something goes wrong.
Because in remote power, reliability is what matters most.
MyEnergy Engineering — reliable power for where the grid can't go.
