Energy

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

The Justice and Equity Centre provides crucial expert oversight of energy policy and regulation. 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. We work collaboratively with communities, energy companies and governments, to ensure energy systems and markets meet everyone’s needs with robust regulation, protections and supports for those facing disadvantage to ensure equity in access to energy.

Our work also seeks to ensure that when government and energy providers engage with communities, they listen to their experiences and make decisions shaped by their values.
