Putting Humans at the Heart of the Energy Transition

Find out how we're working #BetterTogether

The Energy Charter's  #BetterTogether initiatives are delivering tangible outcomes for customers and communities.

Together, creating a better energy future for all Australians

We are The Energy Charter: a one-of-a-kind, CEO-led coalition of energy organisations united by a shared passion and purpose: delivering for customers and empowering communities in the energy transition.

Our vision is that together, we can create a better energy future for all Australians. We empower one another across the energy ecosystem to deliver better energy outcomes for customers and communities.

For us, the opportunity is to keep humans at the centre of the design and delivery of energy solutions, to navigate the changing needs of customers and communities as we transform to a cleaner energy future.

There is no other collaboration like us and the work we do together has never been more important than it is today. 

We are #BetterTogether.

The Energy Charter #BetterTogether initiatives

Our #BetterTogether initiatives are collaborations between energy businesses and communities to deliver tangible customer and community outcomes and create an energy system that works for everyone.

Find out more about our #BetterTogether priorities:

Power Outage Plan awareness campaign

Our Power Outage Plan campaign equips Australians with the knowledge and tools to prepare for unexpected power outages, particularly during extreme weather events.

With increasing climate-related challenges, being prepared isn’t just smart—it’s essential for community energy resilience. 

Life Support Power Outage Plan awareness campaign

The Life Support Power Outage Plan is a life-saving national campaign for people who use medical equipment in the home.

Co-developed with Life Support customers, carers and health services, the Life Support Power Outage Plan is a critical preparation tool for managing unplanned power outages.

National Landholder + Community Engagement Training

Our National Landholder + Community Engagement Training supports the people on the ground engaging with landholders and communities on renewable energy and transmission developments to build trust.

This immersive training is led by community engagement experts with the chance to hear directly from landholders about what good engagement looks like.

Regional Energy Collaboration Framework

The Regional Energy Collaboration Framework puts community at the heart of Australia’s energy transition by providing a structured approach for communities and energy businesses to work together effectively to ensure that regional Australia is an active partner in – and beneficiary of – our clean energy future.

Our Accountability Process adds value to customers, communities and energy businesses by identifying positive outcomes and impacts being undertaken by our Signatories and providing guidance on where there are opportunities for improvement.

The Accountability Process focuses on customer and community consultation rather than on internal processes, ‘box ticking’ compliance or indicators that are measured through mandatory reporting to other organisations.
