ECO-SMART energy management equipment manufactur­er Myenergi is expanding operations to Australia.

The high-growth business, with flagship products focusing on maximising self consumptio­n of renewable micro generation, has launched a new subsidiary in Greater Melbourne.

It comes as the Stallingbo­roughbased team embraces the rising popularity of electric vehicles, energy independen­ce and ethical living.

Australia has the highest levels of solar irradiatio­n in the world, making it “the perfect extension” according to Jordan Brompton, co-founder and chief marketing officer. She has welcomed EV advocate, expert and electrific­ation pioneer Russell Shepherd to lead the team in Victoria.

She said: “We are extremely excited to be launching our new subsidiary in Australia. Our internatio­nal expansion programme is building with impressive momentum, with subsidiari­es already operationa­l in Germany, Ireland and The Netherland­s.

“As a renowned electrific­ation expert, Russell is the perfect person to spearhead our Australian operations, bringing a wealth of experience from the EV market. We are fully confident in his ability to highlight the benefits and quality of our technologi­es and enable widespread adoption by EV drivers down under.”

Myenergi’s Zappi is the world’s first solar compatible EV charger. With optional modes to either draw power from the grid or use self-generated green energy, the award-winning device makes charging your car easy and eco-friendly. The system includes a supporting app that allows users to remotely monitor and easily control their charging.

Eddi is an energy diverter that allows users to maximise self-consumptio­n of renewable energy, by using it to power pool pumps and heat hot water. It describes the potential returns, control and monitoring between both products as totally unique in the marketplac­e. Australia has seen a 400 per cent increase in electric vehicle ownership over the past five years, with many homes using solar.

Having gone from two to 200 employees in five years, the company has just moved to new headquarte­rs on the outskirts of Grimsby, and is building a major extension to house production, having seen demand escalate as the initial build materialis­ed.
