Etosha Milner
Renewable Energy Engineer in Melbourne, Australia
I am an experienced Solar and BESS Technical and Commercial Professional. I have experience working with IPP/Developers, consultants and EPCs. My multifaceted expertise encompasses the entire renewable energy spectrum, from conceptual design and optimisation to construction and commissioning, with a focus on solar, energy storage, and emerging technologies like Hydrogen and Green Methanol.
Key Projects that I have played an integral role in include:
- Suntop Solar Farm (NSW, Aus)
- Gunnedah Solar Farm (NSW, Aus)
I have previous experience at Entura a renewables consulting specialist. While there, I led diverse projects including utility scale solar, wind farms, micro-grid, and off-grid projects. Key highlights from Entura include:
- Feasibility study for Off-Grid design for water utility services aiming for higher renewable penetration
- Conceptual solar farm design, Energy Yield Analysis, and TDD
My approach integrates hands-on engineering skills with sophisticated commercial insights, including structuring, BESS offtake arrangements, market analysis, and collaborative problem-solving. With a knack for transforming technical knowledge into actionable business strategies, I've successfully led negotiations and managed key aspects of project development such as design, PPA negotiations, and market opportunities assessment. My proficiency extends to tools such as AutoCAD, PVSyst, QGIS, ArcGIS,HOMER, and Python, used for BESS and structured product modelling.
Outside of work, you'll find me playing futsal or trying to rope people into playing a game of squash or attempting some new dish in the kitchen. I most recently returned from a year abroad, which was one of the highlights of my life.
