Ausgrid

About us

For over a century, our people have looked after a complex network of electrical assets that connects communities and improves our customers' lives. Now, we're on a mission to transform our network for a sustainable future.

Over the next decade, Ausgrid will move beyond distributing electricity to transmitting it, storing it, and enabling vehicles to be charged with it. More than a network, we're a company driven by our purpose to make electricity accessible for all.

Our Vision and Purpose

Our purpose: Making electricity accessible for all.

For generations, Ausgrid has kept the lights on for our communities. Today, our customers want us to do more. They want access to:

• Affordable electricity – with the power to choose when and how they use electricity to manage their bills

• Reliable electricity – so they can live their lives with certainty that Ausgrid has their back

• Renewable electricity – to protect our planet now and into the future

Our vision: for our communities to have the power in a resilient, affordable and sustainable future.

Every Ausgrid and PLUS ES employee helps make electricity accessible for all. Some examples include:

• Working with EnergyCo to finalise the Hunter/Central Coast Renewable Energy Zone

• Maintaining our assets so that customers have electricity for their homes

• Delivering more EV chargers to help drivers access power for their cars

• Designing a grid that is resilient for years to come

• Installing smart meters so customers can adjust their energy consumption and save money on their bills

• Restoring power after a storm

Our Culture

Our values define how we behave and work together at Ausgrid and PLUS ES:

• Work safe, live safe: we put safety first in everything we do

• Customer-focused: we always consider and respond to our customers' needs

• Collaborative: we are open to new ideas and diverse opinions

• Commercially minded: we seek performance excellence in everything we do

At Ausgrid, inclusion and diversity are fundamental to who we are and how we grow. We foster a workplace where every individual feels valued, respected and empowered. As we move towards a net zero future, this strengthens safe, reliable operations and helps us earn and maintain community trust as we deliver the energy transition.
