Energy

Equitable access to energy is an essential foundation of health, wellbeing and participation in the community.

The Justice and Equity Centre provides crucial oversight of energy regulation in NSW. We work to ensure all households have fair access to the energy services they need. We focus on changes that make household energy services more affordable, sustainable and dependable, for all members of our community.  

We are an influential voice for households and communities in business, policy and regulatory processes, working collaboratively with communities, energy companies and governments, to ensure energy systems and markets meet everyone’s needs. Robust regulation, protections and supports for those facing disadvantage are essential to energy equity.

Our work also seeks to ensure that when energy providers engage with communities, they listen and give effect to their views in decision-making.
