Linked Group Services is a Paget-based company that has successfully diversified from mining electrical contracting into commercial solar energy solutions. The company locally manufactures solar carport solutions, portable solar generators (EcoG3N, EcoSkid), and portable buildings, demonstrating the METS-to-renewables diversification pathway.
This case study represents a practical model for how METS businesses can leverage existing electrical and fabrication skills to capture renewable energy opportunities. However, scaling requires addressing awareness gaps and developing specialised electrical capabilities for grid-scale installations.
Next step
Build construction-phase capability and procurement pathways.
