Our Purpose and Vision
Our purpose is to 'Make Electricity Accessible For All.'
Our vision is for our communities to have the power in a resilient, affordable and sustainable future. Today our customers want us to do more than keep the lights on, they want us to provide access to affordable, reliable and renewable electricity.
Day-to-day we are actively operating, maintaining, repairing and building our electricity network with a focus on safety and reliability. Over the next decade, Ausgrid will move beyond just distributing electricity to transmitting it, storing it and enabling vehicles to be charged with it. More than a network, we are a company driven by our purpose to make electricity accessible for all.
The role we now play is more important than ever as our communities, stakeholders and partners call on us to help balance the cost of living with Australia’s decarbonisation ambitions. Find out more about our role in the energy transition in our Innovation Program.
