Telecommunications Infrastructure

Telecommunication towers

Essential Energy is adapting and responding to the demand of our customers for a safe, fast and resilient telecommunication network. As a result, the TelBu team has been established to connect our regional communities with access to safe, fast and reliable telecommunications by realising the full potential of our network infrastructure.

Radio and Telecommunication sites

TelBu has over 25 years’ experience in building, maintaining, and operating over 170 radio sites across the Essential Energy footprint. This footprint extends into regional and remote areas where we currently provide access to our radio towers as well as secure land for pole and cabinet installations that can be used to service areas that previously would not have been viable for mobile telecommunications. Processes are now in place to enable new and existing customers access to our telecommunication sites across our network.

Enquiries for connections, improvements, and installations to any of our telecommunication sites can be directed to our team by emailing Telco.Sales@essentialenergy.com.au.

Poles and streetlights

A new initiative by Essential Energy is the offering of access to our power poles and streetlights for equipment installations. Installations are designed to remove any threat to the customer, service, and the condition of the device. TelBu have a dedicated team approving installations of small cells (5G), CCTV, communication equipment and monitoring services on Essential Energy power assets. Opportunities are endless across Essential Energy’s 1.4 million poles and/or streetlights with the introduction of smart cities, advanced technology and monitoring installations keeping communities connected and safe across regional and remote areas.
