Australia
One of Australia’s fastest-growing utility service providers with over 700,000 customers across the country.
The energy industry is one of the biggest in Australia. The abundance of resources available in the country is such that Australia is one of the biggest exporters of Coal, Uranium, and LNG. Australia is slowly beginning to pick up a sizeable market share in the country. Nearly 40% of the country’s energy consumption is coal with oil and gas at 34% and 22% respectively.
