WEL Networks

With over 100,000 residential households and businesses connecting to our electricity services, we’re playing an essential role in the economic and social development of our communities.

Key to this growth are strong partnerships and innovation which see us explore new ways of providing critical infrastructure and services to ensure our customers receive affordable, reliable, fairly priced and environmentally sustainable energy. Some more about us:

- WEL Networks and its WEL Group subsidiaries, build, own and operate nearly $800M worth of electricity network infrastructure.

- The WEL Group is 100% owned by the community through our sole shareholder the WEL Energy Trust.

- Over 350 people with a range of skills work across the Group to deliver electricity services to our communities.

- Over the next decade, we’re planning to spend around $250M on network development projects to support the current and projected growth within our network.

- WEL Networks maintains over 7,000 kilometres of lines - around 48% are overhead and 52% are underground.

- Around 70,000 homes and businesses in our area currently have one of our smart meters installed which gives us valuable insights into power consumption patterns and low voltage activity.
