Successful Power Generation Projects
Power Generation
Helping develop traditional and renewable generation across Australia’s energy transition
Partum Engineering provides specialist design and advisory services across a wide range of power generation technologies.
From legacy coal and gas-fired stations to modern solar, wind, BESS, and hybrid systems we assist asset owners, developers, and operators with equipment specification, balance of plant (BoP) design, performance optimisation, and grid connection across all phases of the asset lifecycle.
Whether you’re extending the life of an existing plant or building a new generation facility, our multi-disciplinary team delivers practical, technically robust solutions aligned with today’s evolving energy landscape.

HOW WE CAN HELP
Optimise Asset Performance
We help maximise reliability, efficiency, and output by accurately sizing generation assets, refining site layouts, and selecting fit-for-purpose equipment. Our experience across diverse generation technologies ensures systems are tailored to site conditions, operational requirements, and long-term performance goals.
Ensure Grid Compliance
Our team delivers Generator Performance Standards (GPS), grid connection studies, and modelling services to meet the requirements of Australian network operators. Whether connecting to the NEM, SWIS, or a private network, we help ensure a smooth and compliant transition to energisation.
Support Feasibility, Repurposing, and Transition Planning
We work with clients to evaluate the viability of legacy assets, including repurposing coal-fired stations for synchronous condenser duty, hybridisation, or conversion to support data centres or renewable hubs. Our lifecycle perspective helps clients make informed investment and decommissioning decisions.
Deliver Practical, Standards-Based Design
Our designs are grounded in Australian codes, proven engineering practices, and real-world operational experience. We understand the balance between innovation and constructability, offering solutions that are both technically robust and practically deliverable.
Coordinate Across Disciplines
With in-house capability spanning civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering, we ensure all aspects of your generation project are integrated from the outset. We coordinate across disciplines to reduce rework, improve constructability, and deliver efficient, cohesive outcomes.
OUR PORTFOLIO
CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
At Partum, we prioritise building strong client relationships, which drive successful project outcomes.
Partum delivers a true end-to-end service that few consultancies can match. We would definitely recommend them to others, and KCGM is already engaging Partum for our next project.
GenusPlus Group
I just would like to say “THANK YOU” for the great and safe work that our teams have done collaboratively, first in preparation for the major shutdown, and then last 12 days during the major shutdown for Dampier Resilience Project with construction and energisation of the new 220kV power line between YMPS and Dampier. This transmission system shutdown was the largest and the most complex shutdown in Utilities Division history and your work and contributions are well appreciated.
Rio Tinto
Great work and we’re happy with how Partum has delivered this project.
BHP
Big thanks to Jordan and the Partum team for getting the design settings and report complete.
Fortescue
I would like to personally thank you for your contribution to our success in energisation of the 20kV Switchboard at Lucky Bay. I am grateful for all your help and support, and I look forward to continuing our work together for the many projects and safe energisations to come.
