Ampcontrol Announces Major Collaborative Partnership with Siemens

This announcement comes at a time of growing demand for these solutions due to the rapid expansion of renewable energy in Australia.   

The new agreement is an extension of the existing relationship between the organisations that have worked together on major energy and renewable projects. The agreement will see Ampcontrol become the exclusive Australian supplier for solutions for battery energy storage and grid applications designed around Siemens’ renowned SINAMICS S120 inverters that provides virtual synchronous generator functionalities for system strength and grid stability in the network. Overall, this will help increase digitalisation, grid resilience and support the nation’s transition to net zero.     

“We have great respect for Siemens. Not only do they bring benchmark technology to the market, but they are also committed to providing the right-fit solutions that match some of the critical needs of our industries,” says Rod Henderson, Ampcontrol Managing Director & CEO. 

“The influx of renewable energy sources in Australia means the greater the challenge for stable and sustainable storage and transmission solutions. Our collaboration with Siemens will ensure that we can deliver these solutions to our customers quicker than we have ever been able to, helping industry to decarbonise and help make net zero a reality.”     

“It’s great to formalise the relationship with Ampcontrol who we’ve worked with for many years. This comes at a critical time for the renewable energy sector and the energy transition. A successful energy transition requires collaboration – especially to scale up and meet our net zero commitments,” says Darryl Kaufmann, Head of Siemens’ Digital Industries Division in Australia and New Zealand.
