UEP Operations Personnel

The Electricity Generation industry is transitioning from a model of mostly coal fired steam turbine generation to a mix of thermal (coal), gas (natural, liquefied petroleum and hydrogen), renewable (solar), and large-scale wind generation and power storage.

The ESI Generation Industry Reference Committee (IRC) proposed a project to update seven qualifications to address changes in the generation industry, including the move to renewable energy power generation, increasing automation of power generation control systems and data analytics.

The ESI Generation IRC will have oversight of this project which will be facilitated by Australian Industry Standards (AIS) in consultation with industry stakeholders. A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) will be formed for this project.

Regular project updates will be posted on this page throughout the life of the project.

If you have any questions about this project, please contact Industry Manager Jason Lazar.
