Connecting you with electricity and gas energy
Connecting with us
We own the network of lines, cables and pipes that keep the lights on and the gas flowing for homes and businesses across the communities we serve. As these communities grow, we work with you to expand our networks and deliver a safe, reliable energy supply now and into the future.
We're currently experiencing high demand for our new electricity connection service. Thank you for your patience while we work through requests. Your project matters to us, and we're committed to keeping you informed as we progress your work.
