We have made significant strides since acquiring Active Utilities in October 2023, Australia’s largest independent provider of local utility networks.   In March, Active merged with another Prime Super investment, Savant Energy. United under one banner, they offer comprehensive energy solutions, including sourcing and installing PV solar and battery farms, for multi-tenanted communities across Australia. And this is just the beginning.   Today, Prime Super is Active’s default super fund. CEO Lisa Dowie, GAICD shares, “We realised we could benefit from our superannuation being managed by Prime Super. More importantly, we wanted to make sure that our teams had a super fund that was there for them, one that would help them get the most beneficial superannuation outcomes throughout their working lives.”   Lisa also shares her vision for our future partnership: 💜 Exploring options for Active Utilities to source renewable energy from Prime Super assets, such as the Chepstowe Wind Farm. 💜 Evaluating how Active Utilities can provide energy solutions for Prime Super-owned buildings. 💜 Recognising our shared commitment to serving Australia’s ageing population with efficient and affordable energy solutions.   Discover more at https://lnkd.in/g2BGBF6U. #SuperWithHeart ...
