Introducing the Essential Stakeholder Network (ESN)

At Essential Energy, we understand that listening to our customers and stakeholders is crucial to making good business decisions and we want to provide genuine opportunities for people to shape decisions early in the process. That is why we have established the Essential Stakeholder Network (ESN), a network of customer advocates who provide feedback and represent the broad perspectives of our regional, rural and remote customers across NSW.

The ESN has been created to strengthen our relationships with communities across NSW. It gives us a direct conversation to valuable feedback on the issues that matter most to our diverse customer base, ensuring our business decisions reflect the needs and priorities of the people we serve.

Reach out to the Stakeholder Relations team to involve the ESN in your decision making process. The ESN can provide insights and feedback into the issues you are deliberating on.
