Together, creating a better energy future for all Australians
We are The Energy Charter: a one-of-a-kind, CEO-led coalition of energy organisations united by a shared passion and purpose: delivering for customers and empowering communities in the energy transition.
Our purpose is to empower one another across the energy ecosystem to deliver better energy outcomes for customers and communities. Our vision is that together, we can create a better energy future for all Australians.
For us, the opportunity is to keep humans at the centre of the design and delivery of energy solutions; to navigate the changing needs of customers and communities as we transform to a cleaner energy future.
There is no other collaboration like us; and the work we do, together, has never been more important than it is today.
We are #BetterTogether.

Knock to Stay Connected Customer Code
The Knock to Stay Connected Customer Code aims to keep customers connected by introducing a knock on the door to deliver them information when their energy is at risk of disconnection through not paying their energy bill.

Our National Landholder + Community Engagement Training supports those engaging with landholders and communities on renewable energy and transmission developments to do job their job well, while keeping everyone physically and emotionally safe.

Our Social Licence initiatives focus on social licence issues associated with the energy transition. With the accelerating pace of the energy transition and the need to ensure that nobody is left behind, we are collaborating with the Ag Energy Taskforce and community representatives on social licence initiatives including the Ag Energy Social Licence Roundtable.
Energy Charter Accountability
Every year Full Energy Charter Signatories publicly disclose against each of The Energy Charter’s Five Principles, including how previous commitments have been met, self-assessed maturity and how they will continue to improve for customers and communities. CEOs also meet face-to-face with customer and community representatives to discuss how they can do better.
