Sydney Opera House spans 1.8 hectares, weighs more than 161 tonnes and contains nearly 1,000 rooms. With more than 645 kilometres of electrical cable, the national icon has the same power needs as a country town with a population of 25,000.
One of Australia’s leading energy services corporations, Country Energy is more than up to the task. Country Energy was the successful contender for Sydney Opera House’s electricity supply tender in 2003.
The utility manages the nation’s largest power supply network across 95 per cent of New South Wales’ land mass and offers retail electricity in five states and territories. This means they have the expertise to better understand Sydney Opera House’s power needs.
As well as powering Sydney Opera House, Country Energy is taking music from Sydney Opera House to children in regional New South Wales, as the Touring Partner for the Country Energy Proms on Tour – Presented by Sydney Opera House. This acclaimed music series introduces children to live orchestral music in a fun and interactive way.
Country Energy has supported these tours since the inception of the Babies Proms on Tour series in 2004, taking energetic performances to children across regional NSW. In the past three years, the program has produced nine tours and performed to almost 18,000 children from 58 towns in country and coastal NSW. Both organisations look forward to further developing this partnership in the future.
