The story
ActewAGL was formed in October 2000 as a joint venture between the Australian Gas Light Company (AGL) and ACTEW Corporation, a government-owned enterprise of the ACT Government.
In 2000, ActewAGL entered into a contract with ACTEW Corporation for the management and operation of the water and sewerage network of the ACT and surrounding area. In February 2004, ActewAGL entered into a management agreement with TransACT Capital Communications Pty Ltd.
In October 2006 ActewAGL's business was reorganised, creating separate retail and distribution entities. AGL and ACTEW Corporation continued as the partners for the retail business and Alinta and ACTEW Corporation became partners of the distribution business. Alinta changed its name in August 2008 to Jemena.
In June 2012, ACTEW Corporation did not renew ActewAGL's water and sewerage management contract.
As of October 2017, ActewAGL is made up of two partnerships:
ActewAGL Retail — owned equally by Icon Water and AGL Energy via subsidiary companies.
ActewAGL Distribution — owned equally by Icon Water and Jemena Ltd via subsidiary companies. It operates an electricity distribution network and a gas distribution network in the ACT. The electricity supplies are provided by NSW Electricity Networks over transmission lines owned by TransGrid. Natural gas supplies come via the Eastern Gas Pipeline, owned by Jemena, from the Gippsland Basin, Victoria. On 1 January 2018, the part of ActewAGL Distribution that operates and maintains the ACT electricity and gas network changed its name to Evoenergy.
