Selectronic CEO joins Smart Energy Council delegation to INDIA20 March 2023
As our Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said at the event, "The opportunity is shifting to cleaner, smarter energy, but it’s also about reaching out to the world - there can’t be a solution on climate change, without international action. But, it also makes good economic sense, it’s about Australian jobs and Australian businesses growing." Rod is taking the opportunity to look at distribution partners for the Indian region, which is home to approximately 240 million people with no electricity or grid-connection capabilities. With electricity demand in India rising by 8.4% in 2022 and estimated to rise by approximately 5.6% each year between 2023-2025, investing in renewables is more pertinent than ever.

At the official opening of the building, the company also launched its own song “The Power’s in your Hands”, reflecting the company providing Australian energy solutions that are both reliable and enduring, through even the harshest of conditions.

We are extremely proud to bear this logo on our SP PRO series, not only for ourselves but also for our local supply chain that forms over 83% of components for the SP PRO range. Australia is a very proud and patriotic country, the fantastic work of the Australian Made Campaign and the famous logo, helps to highlight just what we can produce as a country. I firmly believe that Australia has the potential to be a world leader in the design and production of products for the Renewables industry."
