Customer + Community Outcome Groups

At the heart of the Energy Charter is collaborating and engaging with customer and community representatives to ensure customer and community are at the centre of the energy system. Each #BetterTogether initiative has a Customer or Community Outcomes Group (COG) which is instrumental in guiding each initiative.
