Energy Networks Australia welcomes the appointment of Angus Taylor as the federal Minster for Energy and thanks Minister Frydenberg for his contribution to the energy sector.

Energy Networks Australia Chief Executive Officer Andrew Dillon said the energy portfolio is a challenging one and he looked forward to working with Minister Taylor on helping move energy policy forward.

“Never has there been a time when there’s been such a focus on the sector, with Australia’s complex energy system transforming rapidly,” Mr Dillon said.

“Networks will continue to play our part in tackling energy affordability. Over the last three years, network charges for an average Australian household have fallen by $83.”
