APD Global opens in Rome and Milan.

APD Global opened on Via Veneto in Rome and Corso Europa in Milan - a working European engineering team for high-voltage design, grid connection and power system studies.

Italy's strategic position in Europe's renewable energy transition made it the natural next step. The country is accelerating investment in transmission, offshore wind and grid modernisation - exactly the work APD Global has delivered for 27 years in Australia and New Zealand.

The Rome office sits on Via Vittorio Veneto - one of the most recognisable addresses in Europe, where tradition and innovation meet. Milan followed, at Corso Europa in the city's financial and commercial centre, where design thinking and engineering ambition converge naturally.

Country Director William Peasland leads the Italian operation, building the local team and pipeline while connecting European clients to APD Global’s full technical capability. The same primary, secondary, protection, power systems and telecoms bench that serves Australian utilities is now available to European networks.

What this means

A European presence built on 27 years of delivery credibility - not a sales office, but a working engineering team. Clients in Italy and across Europe can now engage APD Global directly for power systems studies, substation and transmission design, renewables connection, and operational technology work.

Beyond the Pitch

Invited to the Italy–Western Australia table.

On 6 August 2026 APD Global joined Beyond the Pitch - Connecting Western Australia and Italy, a business forum convened by Invest and Trade Western Australia, part of the Department of Energy and Economic Diversification, during Calcio Italiano. The Premier and the Deputy Premier addressed the room. A panel of experts, including APD Global’s Managing Director, formed part of the industry panel with Webuild and NHOA Energy - a Western Australian engineering house already working in Italy, alongside Italian companies now working in Australia. One table. Both directions.

The work is the same on both sides of that table: high-voltage design, grid connection and the studies that get plant on the network.
