When it comes to turning on power for a light switch, there are probably few Australians who consider everything that goes on behind the scenes to make that happen. That simple act, of commanding light instantly at the flick of a switch, involves extensive amounts of engineering, infrastructure, construction and maintenance, as well as collaboration between electrical distribution networks, electricity companies, contractors and designers. 

Balpara and its team of VEDN Auditors has once again been recognised for providing the crucial services that make this possible, with our recent appointment to Zinfra's VEDN Auditing Panel. This is in addition to our appointment last year as a provider of VEDN Auditing Electrical Infrastructure Worksite Inspections for AusNet Services. 

Zinfra Power Services currently holds agreements to deliver construction and maintenance services on the Jemena Electricity Network (JEN) and the United Energy (UE) Network. On behalf of these networks, Zinfra has created this VEDN Network Auditing Panel in order to deliver the VEDN Auditing and Detailing Services required by Jemena and United Energy. 



Together, United Energy and Jemena provide electricity to more than 1.6 million homes and business across Victoria. Jemena’s network is powered by an 11,000-kilometre system, which includes the maintenance and upkeep of 72,000 streetlights, while United Energy manages a network of 209,000 poles and 13,000 kilometres of wires. 

As a chosen contractor for the panel, Balpara will provide services including Cable Detailing, Drafting and VEDN Auditing Services on various Electrical Network projects and Electricity Safety Schemes managed by Zinfra within the UE and JEN Network areas. As VEDN auditing experts, Balpara is a VEDN Accredited Auditor in all Victorian networks and has the capability to complete all works to current electrical distribution network standards. With a strong background in compliance auditing, our team is looking forward to providing an exceptional level of service to our new partners.
