CEO Michael Costello says the change has been brought about by a decision by the Australian Energy Regulator (AER).

He says it’s important the community understands this change so that during summer storms, bushfires or extreme heat they know it’s Evoenergy that will be responding.

“From 1 January, it will be Evoenergy who gets the power back on. Staff uniforms and vehicles are being rebranded and identification passes are being updated,” he says. 

Mr Costello says it’s a simple name change, which doesn’t affect the company’s commitment to its clients. 

While the Gas Networks business doesn’t fall under the AER’s ring-fencing guidelines, the organisation has decided to ensure consistency by also including the Gas Networks business under the Evoenergy brand.
