Brisbane, Australia – CleanCo Queensland, a Queensland Government–owned energy generator and retailer, has appointed NRI Australia Ltd. (NRI) as its managed services partner to support the company’s enterprise IT environment.
Under the agreement, NRI now delivers 24/7 Managed Services across CleanCo’s enterprise technology systems, supporting the reliability and continuity of the IT environment that underpins CleanCo’s generation, trading, and market operations.
Karishma Darr, CleanCo Chief Information Officer, said NRI’s onboarding has been carefully managed to ensure continuity of service and a smooth handover.
“We worked closely with NRI through a focused transition process to ensure a smooth and effective handover of services,” Ms Darr said.
“Our focus now is on building a strong partnership that supports continuity today, while giving CleanCo access to scalable support as our operational needs continue to grow.
“The managed services delivered by NRI help underpin the enterprise technology environment that enables CleanCo to operate reliably and support Queensland’s energy needs.”
Ms Darr said the partnership would support CleanCo’s increasing operational maturity.
“As CleanCo continues to evolve, we need technology support that can scale with us.
“This partnership strengthens our ability to deliver consistent, reliable services across the business and maintain focus on the systems that support our people, customers and operations.”
Dave Lennon, Executive General Manager, Managed Services at NRI, said CleanCo and NRI are building long-term foundations.
“Our priority in the transition was to ensure CleanCo felt supported at every stage,” said Lennon.
“That required structure and discipline, close collaboration between our teams, and a strong focus on maintaining operational continuity. Together, this has created a solid foundation for a trusted, long-term managed services and transformation partnership.”
Philip Johnson, General Manager, Energy, Utilities and Resources at NRI, said NRI’s strength lies in supporting organisations like CleanCo as they scale and adapt to portfolio expansion and increasing operational complexity.
“NRI is building deep capability in supporting critical infrastructure organisations through periods of significant change,” said Johnson.
“As these sectors transition from legacy generation and respond to regulatory changes, we are focused on enabling the technology environments that underpin safe, reliable, and compliant operations at scale.”
The partnership positions CleanCo to continue operating with confidence, supported by the technology capability required for long-term growth.
