ACTEW’s Investments

ActewAGL

On 3 October 2000 a joint venture was formed between ACTEW and The Australian Gas Light Company (AGL). The venture, known as ActewAGL, was the first multi-utility operating as a public private partnership in Australia. ActewAGL operates and maintains the water and sewerage networks for ACTEW under the Utilities Management Agreement.

The joint venture comprises two partnerships, ActewAGL Distribution and ActewAGL Retail, with AGL and ACTEW each owning a 50% share in both partnerships.

In October 2006, following changes to the ownership and structures of AGL, Alinta Limited (Alinta) became a 50% owner of the Distribution partnership and AGL Energy Limited a 50% owner of Retail partnership. Further changes to the Distribution partnership occurred when a consortium including Singapore Power purchased Alinta in August 2007. In August 2008 Alinta changed its name to Jemena Limited. The Distribution partnership is owned equally by Singapore Power and ACTEW and the Retail partnership is owned equally by AGL and ACTEW.

ActewAGL Distribution owns and operates the electricity network in the ACT and the gas network in the ACT, Queanbeyan region and Shoalhaven. ActewAGL Distribution also operates and maintains the water and sewerage networks under the UMA with ACTEW.

ActewAGL Retail is responsible for customer service and marketing as well as selling energy, internet services and telecommunications, the latter under a contract with TransACT.

The Joint Venture Partnerships Board is comprised of six members; three appointed by AGL/Singapore Power and three appointed by ACTEW.
