Energex

Energex

Energex is an Australian energy distribution corporation owned by the Queensland Government and based in Brisbane and founded in 1922. Prior to the deregulation of the national energy market, the company was known as the South East Queensland Electricity Board (SEQEB), whose sole purpose was to provide electricity to the South East Queensland region.

Following deregulation, the corporation underwent a name-change, becoming Energex, established itself as a multi-utility provider, supplying LPG and natural gas in addition to electricity, and expanded its operations into the southern states, and now supplies gas to New South Wales and Victoria. In 2006 the Queensland Government announced plans to privatise the retail arm of the business and its Allgas distribution network in southeast Queensland. The Allgas Distribution Network was sold to Australian Pipeline Trust for $521 million. The electricity distribution network will remain in public ownership.
