"I am thrilled to join Intium and support the company's mission to transform Australia's renewable energy sector," said Babu Kumar. "I look forward to bringing my expertise to build on the team's progress and offer innovative long-term energy solutions to key industries helping to build our country's future."

Intium boasts a team with over 150 years of combined experience in energy services. Though established as a company in January 2023, it offers expertise across network connections, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, and electrification, aiming to deliver renewable projects rapidly and responsibly.

Nathan Rhodes, Intium's Executive General Manager, continues to expand the senior leadership team, welcoming new leaders including Ian Armstrong for Business Development, Karie James for Business Improvement, and Joshua Thomas for EVCI, each bringing substantial industry experience.

As Australia pursues its 2030 and 2050 renewable energy targets, companies like Intium play a crucial role in the transition, specifically through the development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure. Intium remains focused on speeding up energy solution deployment, contributing to Australia's timely progress towards renewable goals.
