Synertec awarded Sustainability Leader for Professional Services, Engineering, Advisory & Health for 2025

Synertec is very proud to announce that we are the AFR’s Sustainability Leader for Professional Services, Engineering, Advisory & Health for 2025.
This recognition reflects our enduring commitment to engineering solutions for a better future, a purpose that has guided our work for nearly three decades.

The award celebrates the impact of Powerhouse, our world-leading renewable energy innovation. This AI-driven, off-grid power system delivers 100% renewable energy with zero reliance on diesel or grid backup.

Managing Director and CEO Michael Carroll emphasises “This award is a powerful endorsement of the direction we’ve taken, investing in engineering and innovation that delivers real-world impact. Powerhouse is enabling a new standard of clean, reliable energy, and we’re just getting started.”

Designed for remote and industrial applications, each unit is already reducing Scope 1 carbon emissions by as much as 1,500 tonnes annually, and with scale, has the potential to eliminate millions of tonnes across Australia.

As the world navigates a time of transformation and opportunity, Powerhouse will play a pivotal role in shaping the nation’s sustainable future, enabling industries and communities to transition away from fossil fuels without compromising reliability or performance.

“It highlights that sustainability, reliability and affordability can coexist, even in the most remote corners of Australia. This recognition affirms our belief that engineering, when driven by purpose, can shape a cleaner, more resilient future.”

This achievement is a testament to the ingenuity, resilience and dedication of our experienced in-house engineering team, who have brought Powerhouse to life through years of research, development and deployment in some of Australia’s most challenging environments.

“As we look to the future, we’re developing our partnerships, scaling deployment, and investing in new capabilities to ensure Powerhouse continues to lead the way in sustainable energy innovation, delivering long-term value for our clients, our communities, and the planet.”

We thank The Australian Financial Review and Schneider Electric for this recognition, and we look forward to continuing our journey with our clients, partners and investors, delivering impact where it matters most. We also wish to thank all the supportive investors that believe in the Powerhouse technology and vision of Synertec.
