Perth Energy
Introduction
www.perthenergy.com.au
Perth Energy was established in 1999-2000 as the market began to deregulate in the large commercial segment. Market reform since has taken customer contestability to the current small business demand level of 5.7kW (size of a deli), with the previous integrated utility Western Power being disaggregated in April 2006 into its current generation, retail and networks businesses. A Wholesale Electricity Market was established in September that year.
Perth energy has since built a small retail base of commercial and industrial customers. Now, supported by Infratil and the power station development, Perth Energy has substantial retail growth aspirations to cement its position as the third energy supplier in the SWIS; being just one of three electricity retailers licensed to supply smaller-use customers.
The board of Perth Energy comprises
| Darryl S Flukes (Chairman) – Chief Executive of Infratil Energy Australia; |
| Paul Forsyth – Chief Financial Officer of Infratil Energy Australia & Victoria Electricity; |
| Rod Jones – Chief Executive of ASX listed IBT Education; |
| Vaughan Busby (alternate) – Chief Executive ASX listed Energy One and director of Victoria Electricity |
| Ky Cao (Chief Executive) |
