Wild Tech Becomes a Premium Member of the Smart Energy Council, in Partnership with Oracle NetSuite

The partnership positions Wild Tech as a dedicated digital transformation partner for Australia’s renewable energy sector, combining NetSuite ERP, AI innovation, and deep industry expertise.

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA: The Smart Energy Council (SEC) is pleased to welcome Wild Tech as a Premium Member, in partnership with Oracle NetSuite. Wild Tech is an end-to-end digital transformation solution partner helping Australian businesses harness the power of AI, automation, and ERP technologies. The membership formalises Wild Tech’s strategic commitment and strong track record in Australia’s clean energy sector, supporting renewable energy businesses building the integrated, AI-ready operations they need to scale.

The SEC is Australia’s peak renewable energy industry body, representing more than 1,000 member organisations across solar, storage, wind, and the broader clean energy ecosystem. As a Premium Member, Wild Tech joins a community of C-suite leaders, founders, CFOs, and COOs at high-growth, project-based businesses navigating rapid expansion and the demand for modern digital infrastructure.

“Australia’s renewable energy sector is growing rapidly, and with that growth comes the need for smarter, more integrated ways of doing business. Digital transformation, automation and AI are increasingly becoming important tools for companies looking to scale efficiently and remain competitive in a fast-moving market.

We’re delighted to welcome Wild Tech as a Premium Member of the Smart Energy Council, alongside Oracle NetSuite. Together, they bring deep expertise in helping businesses build connected, future-ready operations. We look forward to working with both teams to share insights, technologies and best practices that can support our members and help strengthen the operational capability of Australia’s renewable energy industry.” said David McElrea, Chief Executive Officer, Smart Energy Council

Wild Tech Founder and CEO Grant Wild said the membership reflects both the scale of the opportunity and the readiness of the sector for transformation.

“Australia’s renewable energy sector is scaling at pace, and that growth demands operational infrastructure to match,” Wild said. “We’re joining the Smart Energy Council because we see a genuine opportunity to support the businesses at the forefront of the energy transition, helping them move beyond fragmented systems and build the integrated, intelligent platforms they need to grow. We’re proud to be doing that alongside NetSuite and the broader SEC community.”

Wild Tech already works with a number of businesses embedded in the SEC membership base, including JetCharge, Green360 Technologies (ASX:GT3), and Chrysos Corporation. The partnership with Oracle NetSuite brings additional depth through NetSuite’s Industry Association Program, which supports industry bodies and their members through education, thought leadership, and the sharing of knowledge and best practices.

Tania Large, Head of Industry Associations ANZ at Oracle NetSuite, said the partnership underscores the company’s long-term commitment to the clean energy sector.

“We are delighted to engage with the Smart Energy Council alongside our Solution Partner, Wild Tech as part of NetSuite’s long-term commitment to supporting Australia’s clean energy sector,” Large said. “The clean energy industry is entering a pivotal phase of growth and transformation, creating new opportunities for businesses to scale, innovate and deliver greater impact. The Smart Energy Council plays a vital role in advancing Australia’s renewable energy future, and this partnership reflects our commitment to supporting its members as they navigate the next chapter of growth and digital transformation. Together with Wild Tech, we look forward to contributing insights, fostering industry collaboration and helping businesses build resilient, future-ready organisations that support a more sustainable future.”

Through its Premium Membership, Wild Tech will participate in SEC events, thought leadership, and customer advocacy programs across the renewable energy sector, supporting businesses moving beyond fragmented systems such as Xero, MYOB, and spreadsheets toward unified ERP platforms. Wild Tech’s core value proposition for the sector centres on building AI-ready energy businesses, combining NetSuite ERP with its own AI and automation capability and a deep, industry-first approach to implementation.
