1minOver the past few days, the EVE Zenith Connected Energy project reached a major milestone with the successful transition to the Connection Container, marking an important step towards commissioning the EVE Microgrid.
This achievement supports the project’s move from construction into commissioning and brings EVE one step closer to delivering a reliable and sustainable community energy sharing network.

This milestone was made possible through the strong collaboration between Nilsen, Jarrah, AVORA and Cedar Woods.
Nilsen led the high-voltage electrical works, delivering the transition safely and efficiently. AVORA provided site coordination and construction support, ensuring the works progressed smoothly. Jarrah designed and built the Connection Container, supported system integration and led commissioning activities throughout the project.
We would also like to acknowledge Cedar Woods, the Eglinton Village developer, for their ongoing support and collaboration. Their commitment to enabling innovative and sustainable energy infrastructure has been invaluable in helping the EVE Microgrid reach this important milestone.

During the planned outage required for the transition, the project team organised a small community engagement initiative for EVE customers and local residents.
The gesture was very well received and provided an opportunity to connect with the community while minimising the impact of the outage. It was a great example of the project’s commitment to not only delivering critical infrastructure, but also supporting and engaging with the people who will benefit from it.

The Connection Container is the central interface between EVE’s renewable generation, battery energy storage system and the electrical network.
With this milestone now complete, the project can progress into commissioning activities, including energisation, protection testing, control system integration and final performance testing before the microgrid becomes fully operational.

Completing this milestone provides a strong foundation for the next phase of the project and keeps the EVE Microgrid on track for successful commissioning.
A sincere thank you to everyone involved, with special recognition to Nilsen, AVORA, Jarrah and Cedar Woods for their commitment, expertise and collaborative support throughout the project.
Congratulations to the entire team on achieving this important milestone. Together, we are one step closer to bringing the EVE Microgrid into full operation.
