Our Consortium
The Tonsley Energy Consortium was founded in 2018 by Quentin Roberts (EfficientSee®) to realise a vision of strong collaboration between current tenants and solution providers in energy.
The group of founding members that included Zen Energy, SAGE Automation, CleanPeak Energy, AZZO and EfficientSee has since grown to include the City of Marion, Flinders NVI, TAFE SA, Tesla, Danfoss, Rockwell Automation, Siemens Energy, Total Eren, Maximum Energy, ifm efector and Phoenix Contact.
This dynamic group represents a unique model of collaboration that is the way of the future.
Through this collective, the Tonsley Innovation District is becoming recognised as Australia's Future Energy Hub and is known for many ‘firsts’, including Australia's largest rooftop solar array and hydrogen electrolyser.
