Corporate Structure
About CitiPower and Powercor Australia
CitiPower and Powercor Australia are electricity distributors. We own and manage the poles and wires that deliver electricity to nearly a million homes and businesses within Melbourne’s CBD, its suburbs and across central and western Victoria.
Our two distribution networks are separate; we are responsible for the quality and reliability of electricity delivered to customers within these networks. A portion of the bill you receive from your chosen electricity retailer will contain distribution charges, but we do not bill customers directly for delivering power.
The prices, or network tariffs, that electricity retailers pay us to deliver electricity are regulated by Victoria’s Essential Services Commission (ESC) The ESC also sets standards for our network performance and service.
In addition to our core regulated distribution business, we operate three non-regulated businesses:
- Network Services, an engineering, design and construction services company
- Powercor IT, an information technology services company
- Customer Services, a customer service business providing services in the contestable market
Our Management
CitiPower and Powercor’s business operations are managed through a Joint Management structure, with our senior management team comprising general managers from each of nine internal business units, led by our Chief Executive Officer.
