Tranex Power’s roots trace back to the late 1980s, when founder and Chairman Allen Young established a successful civil construction business in Melbourne. In 2004, Tranex was formed, building on this strong foundation and continuing the company’s growth in civil infrastructure.
In 2012, Tranex entered the renewable energy sector after being engaged to install over 30,000 piles for Australia’s first utility-scale solar project - marking the beginning of its transition into large-scale solar delivery. The business subsequently developed deep expertise in energy infrastructure, positioning itself within Australia’s rapidly expanding renewable energy market.
From 2013, Tranex partnered with leading EPC contractors including Elecnor, Bouygues Construction, and Downer, delivering key civil, mechanical, and structural scopes across Australia’s early utility-scale solar projects. In 2015, the company played a significant role in the 66MW Parkes Solar Farm, part of the ARENA-funded program that helped establish Australia’s large-scale solar industry.
Since then, Tranex has installed over 4GW of solar capacity across more than 60 projects nationwide - from the tip of Cape York in Queensland to Geraldton in Western Australia, and everywhere in between.
Today, Tranex delivers integrated, end-to-end services - from early engineering support through to full construction delivery - across utility-scale solar, hybrid energy, and prime power systems. Through Tranex Power, the business has expanded into delivering reliable, integrated power solutions for remote and complex environments, reinforcing its position as a trusted delivery partner.
This capability is underpinned by Tranex’s vision of "setting the standard for execution certainty in Australian renewable-energy construction - being the delivery partner clients trust when timing, quality, and risk absolutely matter."
