What They Do

The company focuses on installing, maintaining, financing, and operating smart meters and related infrastructure for electricity, gas, and water networks, serving residential, commercial, industrial, embedded networks, and solar metering customers (source: arena.gov.au). Beyond metering, Intellihub develops digital infrastructure for virtual power plants through a demand flexibility platform capable of orchestrating more than 500 MW of consumer devices such as hot water systems, solar PV, batteries, EV chargers, and pool pumps (source: arena.gov.au). The company also emphasizes smart water services and digital water infrastructure, including pressure monitoring and certification efforts (source: intellihub.com.au). As the only independent smart metering provider across ANZ, Intellihub supplies smart meters to more than 30 retailers, combining metering, data, capital, installation, and orchestration in a unified platform (source: arena.gov.au).

This project aims to aggregate 510 MW of load control by enrolling over 140,000 customer devices to support virtual power plant operations for retailer partners (source: arena.gov.au). Intellihub also led Australia's first and largest power pole-mounted EV charging project, managing all aspects from project management and stakeholder coordination to product development, metering, and charge point operations (source: arena.gov.au). Their broader platform encompasses funding, procurement, installation, maintenance, monitoring, optimization, and orchestration for solar, battery, and behind-the-meter assets (source: arena.gov.au). In the water sector, Intellihub has expanded into smart water initiatives, including Smart Drop Certification for its smart water services, enhancing water network visibility and monitoring (source: intellihub.com.au).
Recent Developments
In 2025 and 2026, Intellihub announced the refinancing and upsizing of approximately A$3 billion in Certified Green Loans to accelerate growth in its energy-transition platform (source: intellihub.com.au). The company entered a commercial agreement with ENGIE to expand EV charging rollout and enhance consumer access to household energy management solutions, alongside launching Zelora with Bunnings for home electrification (source: intellihub.com.au).
