Murarrie Manufacturer NOJA Power Secures $10m Ukraine Energy Contract

Murarrie-based electrical engineering company NOJA Power supplies $10 million worth of essential equipment from its local headquarters to help restore Ukraine’s heavily damaged energy system.



Major Contract to Support Ukraine

The significant contract, valued at $10 million, includes local installation work in Ukraine. This Brisbane manufacturer provides crucial electrical gear. The Australian Government funds this contribution through the Ukraine Energy Support Fund, which the European Union manages.

The Ukrainian Government and its Minister for Energy, Herman Galushchenko, requested the specific equipment to aid in the country’s recovery efforts. The equipment is anticipated to be delivered to the war-torn nation in July.

The specialised equipment being sent consists of OSM Reclosers, which are designed to help rebuild Ukraine’s electricity networks and bring power back to millions of people. Company chief executive Neil O’Sullivan stated that NOJA Power is honoured to participate in this vital international effort.

He added that their equipment aims to improve the reliability and safety of the energy network and expressed confidence that it will make a substantial difference to Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. A key benefit of these reclosers is their ability to allow remote control of networks, which is especially important for protecting utility workers operating in dangerous areas affected by landmines.
