At PSC, we believe the future of energy depends on the people shaping it. That's why we are proud to support initiatives that invest in emerging talent and help develop the next generation of power engineering professionals across New Zealand. Through our ongoing partnership with the Aruhiko Power Engineering Excellence Trust (PEET), PSC continues to support outstanding university students who demonstrate academic excellence, innovation, and a passion for the power industry.
This year, PSC celebrated scholarship recipients at both the University of Canterbury and the University of Auckland, reinforcing our commitment to strengthening New Zealand's future energy workforce.
At the University of Canterbury, PSC's 2026 Scholarship was awarded to Joshua Naidoo, who was recognized during the PEET Undergraduate Scholars' presentations. Joshua's enthusiasm, capability, and commitment to the sector exemplify the qualities needed to help drive the energy transition and meet the challenges of tomorrow's power systems.
Meanwhile, at the University of Auckland, PSC's 2026 Operational Technologies Scholarship was awarded to Robbie Ward, who was recognized at the University's PEET Undergraduate Scholars' presentations. Robbie's achievement reflects the strong talent emerging within New Zealand's engineering community.
The PEET scholars' presentations provided an inspiring opportunity to hear firsthand from students who are already contributing fresh thinking and innovative ideas to the future of the energy sector. Their enthusiasm and technical capability offer a positive glimpse into the next generation of industry leaders.
Supporting students through scholarships is an important part of PSC's commitment to developing the talent pipeline that will help power New Zealand's future. As the energy landscape continues to evolve, attracting and nurturing skilled engineers and technical specialists will remain critical to delivering a reliable, resilient, and sustainable energy system.
We congratulate Joshua, Robbie, and all 2026 PEET scholarship recipients on their achievements and look forward to following their future contributions to the industry. At PSC, we're proud to invest in the people who will help shape the future of energy.
Let’s keep investing in the future. If you’re passionate about supporting the next generation of power engineers or want to learn more about how PSC partners with initiatives like PEET, get in touch—we’d love to connect.
