Magellan in Focus: Our Managing Director’s Take on the Future of Defence
Check out Masoud Abshar, Managing Director of Magellan Power, featured on the cover of Business News this month!
The federal government just invested $12 billion to turn Henderson into a major defence industry hub and Austal has locked in a 15-year deal to deliver landing craft and new Navy vessels, preparing the region for a jobs and infrastructure boom. The flow-on effect for local tech and manufacturing is massive.
Masoud shares how Magellan is scaling up (preparing to build a new Hope Valley facility with a 5-7x capacity boost) to meet a “tsunami” of demand in both the renewables and defence sectors. While everyone’s talking residential batteries, Masoud is focused on delivering resilient, deployable power and microgrid solutions for defence bases, field hospitals and other environments where energy reliability is mission critical.
In Masoud’s words:
“Defence is one area we are really focusing on, because not only can we supply equipment, but we can supply resilient power infrastructure that takes into account renewable energy, the grid and backup power.”
