Energy transition

The shift from fossil fuel electricity generation to renewable energy generation.

Essential Energy’s role in the energy transition

Delivering safe and reliable electricity for our communities is at the core of what we do, and as the energy sector transitions from coal-fired power towards renewable energy generation, we too are transforming.

Through innovation and technology, we are actively supporting the energy transition through enabling the connections of renewable energy on the network.

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.

Building the network of the future will empower communities to be a part of the transition and can drive economic growth in regional, remote and rural New South Wales.

We are trialling and implementing ways to connect communities to share energy for a better tomorrow and developing the skills and training so our people can inspire and enable the network of the future.

Together we can build a brighter future for regional, rural and remote New South Wales.

We are empowering the energy transition.
