Our customer charters
As owners and operators of the electricity distribution networks within Queensland, we're proud and passionate about our responsibilities of meeting our customers' needs for a safe and reliable electricity supply.
To show our commitment to you we've developed Customer Charters for large business and residential/small business customers.
Our Customer Charters give customers information about the terms and conditions of contracts with us for the billing and sale of electricity, and contracts for the electricity connection. They also provide other more general information relating to your rights, entitlements and obligations.

Ergon Energy Network is your electricity distributor
While retail competition allows consumers throughout Queensland to change their electricity retailer, we remain responsible for the safe, reliable supply of electricity to homes and businesses in Queensland via the electricity network – the ‘poles and wires’.
Our services include the planning, construction, operation and maintenance of the power poles, powerlines and cables needed to bring electricity to your home or business.
