Boosting Energy Efficiency: NHP Expands Partnership with Socomec for Smarter Solutions

NHP has taken a major step toward improving energy management by expanding its partnership with global electrical equipment manufacturer Socomec. This enhanced distribution agreement, which will be effective from January 1, 2025, will provide customers in Australia and New Zealand with greater access to Socomec’s cutting-edge energy management portfolio.

After 20 successful years as the local distributor for Socomec’s power control and safety range, NHP is broadening its offerings to include a comprehensive suite of energy management solutions, a move that supports connectivity and sustainability in the region.

NHP’s Marketing Manager – Customer and Channels, Daniel Hillhouse, highlighted how the expanded partnership complements NHP’s existing power distribution services.

“By building on our partnership with Socomec, we’re now offering enhanced connectivity solutions utilizing the latest technology, tailored specifically for the Australian and New Zealand markets,” Mr. Hillhouse said. “This growth initiative aligns with our shared goal of a more energy-efficient and sustainable future.”

Socomec’s Managing Director for Australia and New Zealand, James Fraser, noted that NHP is the ideal partner to distribute its energy management portfolio. This collaboration strengthens both companies’ positions as leaders in energy efficiency.

“With NHP’s technical expertise, local presence, and excellent product management, this partnership will elevate the customer experience across Australia and New Zealand,” Mr. Fraser added.

As sustainability becomes a key focus in Australia and New Zealand, demand for energy management solutions is on the rise. With ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) targets and strict government regulations like Green Star, NABERS, and the National Construction Code (NCC), businesses are seeking more advanced ways to manage energy use and meet compliance.

Mr. Hillhouse explained that this increasing demand made expanding the Socomec partnership a strategic decision for NHP. "We’re at the forefront with technologies to automate production and control power. Now, with Socomec’s energy monitoring solutions, we can offer our customers complete end-to-end solutions."

This strengthened partnership offers several advantages, including:

• Seamless compliance with NCC, NABERS, and Green Star standards

• Advanced energy monitoring capabilities using technologies like Digiware

• Enhanced support services, including field service and training

• Improved connectivity with integrated energy management solutions

NHP’s CEO, Stephen Coop, emphasized the importance of their local technical support and services team, which is the largest in Australia and New Zealand. "We provide comprehensive field services, working with our trusted network of industry partners to upgrade energy management systems in buildings and industrial applications."
