Energex is an Australian-based and wholly Queensland Government-owned electricity company that distributes power to 1.5 million homes and businesses across the region of South East Queensland. The boundaries of the company’s distribution area stretch from Coolangatta in the south to Gympie in the north and as far west as the foothills of the Toowoomba range.
Energex’s network includes more than 55,000 km of underground and overhead electricity infrastructure servicing city and rural areas in a sub-tropical climate.
As part of the Queensland Government's announcement of the merger of Energex and Ergon Energy, a parent entity called Energy Queensland was formed, and commenced operations on 30 June 2016. The head office of Energy Queensland is based in Townsville.
