Davidson is the proud recruitment partner of SEC Victoria as they accelerate Victoria’s renewable energy transition.
Do work that makes a difference
SEC is building an enterprising and dynamic team to accelerate Victoria’s transition to renewables and help achieve Victoria’s renewable energy target of 95% by 2035. We are working together for renewable, affordable, reliable energy for all Victorians.
We have an exciting and ambitious road ahead with a focus on:
- Investing in renewable energy and storage projects that accelerate the transition and deliver commercial returns.
- Supporting households to go electric to reduce their emissions and energy bills.
- Retailing electricity to Victorian Government operations and Victorian businesses to help them decarbonise.
- Underpinning all of this is SEC’s work to support the renewable energy workforce our energy transition requires.
SEC is partnering with industry to transform the energy sector, opening the state up for further innovation and investments in renewables. This includes an initial $1 billion towards delivering 4.5 gigawatts of power through renewable energy and storage projects – the equivalent replacement capacity of coal-fired power station Loy Yang A, which is set to close in 2035.
