Neetika Kapani
Manager
Reserve Capacity (WA) - Australian Energy Market Operator
Western Australia
Neetika is an academic turned energy professional with over 10 years of experience in the energy sector. She leads the AEMO team in WA responsible for ensuring there is sufficient generation capacity to meet current and future electricity demand on WA’s largest (and possibly one of the most isolated) electricity network, the South West Interconnected System.
Neetika is passionate about mentoring and empowering individuals. She led the development of AEMO's inaugural Women's mentoring program and is Co-Chair of the Diversity, Equity & Inclusion committee at AEMO.
Her childhood to adult years involved a lot of travelling, which exposed her to different cultures, languages and customs in India. This played a big role in her embracing diversity and inclusion, and driving a positive work culture and environment for operational excellence.
Neetika has been serving as Chair of Women in Energy since 2020, and was a finalist in the 2020 WA Advancing Women in Energy Award.
