Noodoe and Bennelong Energy Services (BES) have formed a strategic partnership to deliver turnkey EV charging and smart energy management solutions across Australia. As a major milestone in this collaboration, the Australian Department of Defence has had BES install its first three chargers – an initiative that has already been documented as a success and promoted across the organisation. By leveraging the combined expertise of BES and Noodoe to deploy EV charging infrastructure across Defence sites, the partnership will support the Department's Net Zero Strategy and Indigenous Procurement Policies.
The upcoming rollout of 70 additional EV chargers will combine BES’s on-ground capabilities with Noodoe's advanced EV Operating System (EV OS). Unlike isolated solutions focused solely on charging or energy management, Noodoe offers an all-encompassing platform that unifies EV charging, energy storage, and solar power, delivered through a single pane of glass. Powered by Noodoe AI, the platform provides predictive automation, dynamic energy optimisation, and autonomous fault recovery – all within a secure environment.
"This deployment can demonstrate how forward-thinking government agencies can take bold steps toward sustainability without compromising on performance, scale, or security," Chairman of Noodoe, John Wang, said.
"Defence is leading with an example, and Noodoe is proud to enable BES and the Australian Department of Defence."
This initiative is a cornerstone of the Department of Defence's Net Zero Strategy, which emphasises both decarbonisation and inclusive procurement. It also reflects Defence's broader commitment to partnering with indigenous-owned businesses, as highlighted in its recent announcement. The rollout will focus on infrastructure readiness, seamless integration, and long-term operational resilience across all sites.
"This project showcases how indigenous businesses can lead national transformation," Managing Director of BES, Gaven Sheehan, said.
"Noodoe's world-class technology and commitment to excellence have made them the ideal partner—delivering innovation, reliability, and impact at scale."
Through this partnership, Noodoe and BES are helping Defence – and the broader public sector – advance its sustainability goals while setting a blueprint for decarbonising complex, high-security environments. The collaboration also lays the groundwork for future joint projects across Australia in both government and commercial sectors.
