UtilitiesNew South Wales, Australia1001-5000 Employees

Essential Energy builds, operates and maintains one of Australia’s largest electricity distribution networks, providing a vital service to 890,000 customers across 1,500 regional, rural and remote communities.

Our network footprint covers 95 per cent of New South Wales and parts of southern Queensland, traversing 737,000 square kilometres of diverse landscape from the desert to the coast, across alpine to sub-tropical. 
Delivering safe and reliable power for our communities is at the core of what we do.

The poles and wires that line our streets deliver the energy that powers the homes, hospitals, schools and businesses that form our communities. But they can also allow for communities to generate, share and store their own electricity.

Through innovation and technology, we are actively supporting the energy transition by inspiring and enabling the network of the future.
Underpinning this is our commitment to the safety of our employees, contractors and the community. We strive to continuously improve our safety performance, and we work with the people we serve to promote electrical safety awareness.

With a workforce of over 3,500, our employees are building careers, connecting communities and growing together.

Essential Energy also provides water and sewerage services to 20,000 customers in Far West NSW.
