Customer Advocacy Group

The Customer Advocacy Group is a proactive forum for consultation, engagement and insight across Essential Energy’s customer base, on any matters relating to the supply of electricity and associated services.

  • Vulnerable customers
  • Senior citizens
  • People from non-English speaking backgrounds
  • Minority groups
  • Residential customers
  • Small business customers
  • Industrial and commercial customers
  • Rural and remote customers
  • Primary producers
  • Local government
  • Advancing technologies and renewables
