SUMMARY:Webinar - Resilience at Scale: Transforming the Essential Energy Network through Composite Pole Transition
DESCRIPTION:This presentation will focus on how\, by transitioning to composite poles\, Essential Energy is building a stronger\, more resilient network that reduces outages\, shortens restoration times\, and delivers safer\, more reliable electricity for the customers and communities we serve\, when they need it most. \nManaging 1.4 million poles and replacing more than 9\,000 end-of-life assets each year\, Essential Energy is future-proofing one of Australia’s largest distribution networks. \nAn ageing timber pole fleet\, constrained supply and escalating climate risk drove a decisive transition to composite poles. With one in five poles in bushfire-prone areas\, composite materials strengthen resilience\, improve survivability\, reduce outages and accelerate restoration\, thereby safeguarding customer outcomes and network reliability. \nPart of the Asset Management in Action Webinar Series – showcasing submissions from the 2026 Excellence Awards. \nClick here to register\n  \n\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n		 \n		\n			Deepak Pais is the Manager Engineering – Network Standards at Essential Energy.
