Opportunities to work with the HTP
EnergyCo are building a list of local suppliers interested in being part of the HTP.
The project is currently in the planning phase and construction is anticipated to start from 2026.
A local supplier database will be included in the procurement package when EnergyCo appoints the design and construct contractors and network operator.
Tenderers will be expected to address how they will prioritise local employment and engage local services, among other criteria.
To support this process, they’re holding industry briefings and are opening an expression of interest (EOI) for local businesses.

Building the HTP is a significant opportunity to invest in local business and provide jobs for local people.
The types of services that the HTP will need during design and construction include:
- labourers, security guards, cleaners, mining escorts
