ACTEW Corporation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ACTEW Corporation Limited is the water, sewerage, natural gas, telecommunications and energy utility in Canberra, Australia.
Australian Capital Territory Electricity and Water (ACTEW) was formed in 1988 and in July 1995 became ACTEW Corporation in response to industry deregulation.
In October 2000 ACTEW Corporation formed a joint-venture company ActewAGL with Australian Gas Light Company (AGL), with ACTEW becoming a government-owned holding company. The electricity and gas assets were vested with the new ActewAGL but ACTEW retains ownership of Canberra's water and sewerage network. ActewAGL is contracted by ACTEW Corporation to provide services to Canberra.
