We are pleased that UGL’s experience in power generation, transmission and distribution solutions can be used to help serve Victoria’s growing energy requirements.”

This agreement with PNS allows us to deliver our expertise across the Victorian network, providing a safe and reliable service for the community and providing employment opportunities throughout the state.”
