HYDRO TASMANIA: PIONEERING REMOTE COLLABORATION IN AUSTRALIA’S RENEWABLE ENERGY SECTOR WITH LOGITECH

Energy & Mining

In the vast landscapes of Tasmania where nature intertwines with technological innovation, Hydro Tasmania is pioneering a greener future. With a workforce of over 1300 individuals, including nearly 800 Tasmanians spread across multiple working locations, Hydro Tasmania has established itself as Australia’s leading generator of renewable energy. Their goal is to transform Tasmania into the nation’s renewable energy powerhouse. Every year, Hydro Tasmania produces about 9000 gigawatt hours of clean electricity from hydropower, wind, and gas. This is enough to power about 900,000 Australian homes and small businesses. Their system, with a total capacity of more than 2600 megawatts, includes 30 power stations and over 50 major dams.

To bring this vision to life and manage such a complex and extensive operation, they required a sophisticated system that could accommodate their dispersed operations and remote locations. This is the juncture where Logitech’s solutions come into play. As a global leader in innovative solutions, we are proud to have established a five-year partnership with Hydro Tasmania. Our advanced collaboration technology is helping to transform Hydro Tasmania’s remote operations, enabling them to stay connected and productive, even in the most challenging conditions.

Unleashing the Power of Connectivity:

Five years ago, Logitech embarked on a journey with Hydro Tasmania to revolutionise their remote collaboration capabilities. We introduced a range of cutting-edge Logitech products that seamlessly integrated into their operations, adapting to their evolving business needs. From the Rally Bar and Tap to the Tap Schedulers, Brio Webcams, and MX Master Keyboards, our solutions became core to connectivity and collaboration with Hydro Tasmania’s growing and geographically dispersed team. 

Navigating the Digital Landscape:

Managing tech infrastructure across multiple locations is a daunting task. With Tasmania’s unpredictable and often dangerous weather patterns, accessing remote locations to troubleshoot IT can become a risky task. That’s where our Logitech Sync portal became their secret weapon. This powerful tool enables their IT department to troubleshoot technical issues remotely, handle firmware updates, and even reboot devices with ease. 

Sustainability at the Core:

At Logitech, we believe that partnerships thrive when there is a shared vision and commitment. When we first connected with Hydro Tasmania, we instantly recognised their dedication to renewability and sustainability. It was clear that our values aligned, creating a strong foundation for collaboration and innovation.

Beyond collaboration, Logitech and Hydro Tasmania share a deep commitment to sustainability. Our eco-friendly products perfectly align with Hydro Tasmania’s focus on environmental responsibility. By choosing Logitech, Hydro Tasmania not only streamlined its operations but also contributed to a greener future. Together, we are making a positive impact on the planet while driving innovation and efficiency.
