AmCham Business Briefing with guest speaker Frank Tudor, Managing Director, Horizon Power

Horizon Power has significant expertise and experience in managing traditional remote microgrids; a business model that is distinct from prevailing grid-based utility business models operating within Australia. Through a series of foundation projects that are already well advanced, Horizon Power is developing a smart Microgrid Operating Platform that represents a comprehensive solution to the successful delivery of energy into remote locations. To accentuate Horizon Power's significant capacity development, it is also prosecuting the case for a program of strategic investments that collectively refine Horizon Power's microgrid focus and begin to build a brand to support its microgrid positioning.
