Ausgrid is the largest distributor of electricity on Australia’s east coast, providing power to 1.8 million customers on a network of substations, powerlines, underground cables and power poles, spanning 22,275 square kilometres throughout Sydney, the Central Coast and the Hunter Valley.
Our vision is for communities to have the power in a resilient, affordable, net-zero future. Our primary focus is the safe management and operation of the electricity network.
Ausgrid is currently 49.6% owned by the NSW Government, 8.4% owned by AustralianSuper, 25.2% owned by IFM Investors and 16.8% owned by APG Asset Management Group.
Day-to-day we are actively operating, maintaining, repairing and building our electricity network with a focus on safety and reliability. Our job is to make sure the network is ready for a future where renewables play a major role in the power mix and where households and businesses can generate their own energy and sell it back to the grid.

We operate in the National Electricity Market (NEM) as both a Distribution Network Service Provider (DNSP) and a Transmission Network Service Provider (TNSP).
