Ergon Energy is committed to finding ways to help you to reduce your household electricity use, save money and help the environment. That's why we're trialing different types of programs across Queensland.
These programs are part of the Ergon Energy Demand Management Plan and our Demand Management Outcomes Report (PDF 2.5 mb) provides details on our performance against the plan. It demonstrates Ergon Energy’s commitment towards managing demand as the most significant driver of new network investment – one of the leading contributors to electricity price increases.
