Summary

The CIGRE Australian National Committee was established in 1953 and has its office in Brisbane, with members across continental Australia and New Zealand.

Founded in 1921, CIGRE (Conseil International des Grands Réseaux Électriques), or the International Council on Large Electric Systems, is a global non-profit association "for promoting collaboration with experts from all around the world by sharing knowledge and joining forces to improve electric power systems of today and tomorrow".

Their main objectives are to design and deploy the power system for the future, optimise existing equipment and power systems, respect the environment and facilitate access to information.
