02 ENGINE ROOM WINTER EDITION THANKYOU FORYOUR SERVICE DAVID MOORE FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR Phil Canning, Managing Director It’s been an exciting first six months and I’m immensely proud of all the hard work performed by all of our team across Australia. We have been supporting Cat’s® first solar plant on Australian soil with our customer Joule Energy in their partnership with Northern Adelaide Waste Management Authority (NAWMA). We began work last year on this innovative first-of-its-kind project to combine solar and methane gas in an energy production farm. I’m very proud of the turnkey solution for the 1.15MW(ac) PV solar plant where we provided engineering, design, construction and commissioning. You’ll also read about our support of customers from mining to utilities – our team travel hundreds of kilometres around the country to ensure our customers get the very best products and service as soon as they need them. I hope you enjoy this edition of Engine Room and look forward to reporting on the next six months of success. David Moore’s four decades of service as an invaluable member of the Australian Cat® family has always been pumped by his ‘yellow blood’. From securing the Appin and Tower Methane Energy Project in 1996 selling 94 Cat® G3516s – the largest one-off sale of Cat® generators in Australia to date – to facilitating an $11 million contract with Energy Developments Limited (EDL) for the supply of 16 Cat® G3516C generators at the German Creek Coal Mine (the largest coal seam methane project in the world at the time) and a $19 million contract for 54 Cat® gas generators for their West Kimberley Power Project a decade late, he has always been focused on customer service excellence and leading by example. David was part of the team that started Energy Power Systems Australia in 1992 and that same year sold the first Cat® G3516 to be used to power a landfill site in Australia. He also sold the first Cat® G3516 into landfill application in Australia to EDL – the beginning of a long relationship in the landfill business during which time in excess of 60 Cat® G3516s were sold into this application. Earlier this year, David retired but was invited back in a consultancy capacity – and we’re thrilled he’s accepted and will continue to share his yellow blood, passion and experience with our customers and partners across Australia for years to come.
