How can we ensure innovation delivers value and supports customers and communities throughout the energy transition?
AusNet’s Innovation Advisory Committee (IAC) ensures customers’ perspectives help shape the design and prioritisation of innovation projects associated with our electricity distribution network.
We’re seeking people with an interest in electricity and innovation, and who can represent the interests of AusNet’s electricity distribution customers, to join our Innovation Advisory Committee. We are particularly interested in members who can represent a broader range of customer groups and demographics, and welcome lived experience.
