Beca has been appointed to Transpower’s Engineering Consultants Design Panel, which will help to provide long-term engineering design services to their grid assets across New Zealand.
Beca has been supporting and working with Transpower for 30 years, delivering projects across the network, and supporting their network expansion, maintenance and upgrade projects. Beca brings together multidisciplinary capability from across our business to support Transpower, including expertise in power, civil, structural, geotechnical, project and cost management. In the past 12 months we have helped to successfully deliver the rebuild of the Redclyffe Substation, upgrades to protection systems at the Manapōuri and Haywards stations, transformer and transmission line upgrades and more recently, flood and seismic assessments.
In addition to core grid enhancement projects, Beca is also supporting the delivery of greenfield substations and brownfield upgrades that enable the connection of new generation and load customers to the electricity grid, supporting New Zealand’s electrification journey.
Scheduled to begin in January 2027, the new Panel will support the delivery of a diverse portfolio of Transpower projects across substations, transmission lines, protection and automation, and telecommunications.
The Beca team is looking forward to continuing to work alongside Transpower, their customers and the other Panel partners to deliver smart solutions that will enable a renewable, low carbon future for Aotearoa.
